Okay. That's a weird one to fail on. That test gets the list of time zones on 
the system by getting the list of time zone files in /usr/share/zoneinfo, and 
then it verifies that it can load each of them. And "+Version"? That's just plain 
weird. Is there any chance that you could send me a compressed tarball of the 
/usr/share/zoneinfo on your Mac? Those files are supposed to be standard, but it 
does seem like Apple has done some funny stuff with them.
