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?)
