Tom Lane 2946ccf35f Fix pg_tzset() to ensure that 'lclmem' (the static variable holding the localtime timezone data) is not overwritten until we know the data is good. tzload() is capable of failing after having begun modifying the struct it's pointed at, and in such cases the static data was left in a corrupt state. Bug does not exist pre-8.0 (since we didn't have this code then) nor post-8.0 (since we already changed the code to tzload into local variables initially). Per report from Nick Martens.		2006-01-10 20:16:25 +00:00

README

This is a PostgreSQL adapted version of the timezone library
from:

	ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzcode*.tar.gz

The data files under data/ are an exact copy of the latest data set
from

	ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata*.tar.gz

Since time zone rules change frequently in some parts of the world,
we should endeavor to update the data files before each PostgreSQL
release.
