I experienced this bug when running the Mercurial test suite
<https://www.mercurial-scm.org/pipermail/mercurial-devel/2016-February/079519.html>
(like Aurelien Jarno in
<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2016-March/023339.html>).

I proposed a patch to the Mercurial test to explicitly defines DST transition
times instead of relying to 'posixrules':
