What's wrong:

tzfile(5) reads:

     The time zone information files used by tzset(3) begin with
     bytes reserved for future use, followed by three four-byte
     values of type long, written in a ``standard'' byte order
     (the high-order byte of the value is written first).  These
     values are, in order:

There is no tzset(3); more accurately, the tzset function is described
in the man page for ctime(3), but typing "man tzset" by itself will
not pull up that man page.

What should have happened:

  There should be proper .so files so that "man tzset" pulls up the
ctime man page.
