Those regression tests were *intentionally* set up to fail if someone's
TZ support is not Y2038 clean.  This is not a bug.  Advise your client
to get some less-obsolete timezone data files; or don't depend on the
system TZ database.  (The only reason why you should do so is if it's
being kept up to date, eh?)
