My Salesforce colleagues just pointed out that the JDBC regression
tests fail against 9.4beta3, because those tests include a check on
the timezone Europe/Helsinki in 1920, and the latest IANA timezone
database changed what they think the GMT offset was there/then.

This doubtless explains why buildfarm member piapiac has been unhappy
since the TZ updates went in, though it sure doesn't provide much
visibility into the exact failure :-(

I'd counsel following the precedent of commit
66b737cd9a72e10df4de1867ae7b675bc48d478c if you want to test
any fractional-second GMT offsets: use Paris, whose location was
pretty well established even back then.

            regards, tom lane
