>Description:
The zoneinfo sources for FreeBSD 4.11 have not been updated for a fairly long
period. It has already been reported that the leap second information for
December 2005 is missing (PR kern/91152), and running FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE
with leap second support enabled would still result in an incorrect system
time. In addition, be aware that there is an exceptional extension of daylight
saving time by one week announced for several Australian time zones
(ACT, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, and Tasmania), see e.g.
http://www.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/lawlink/Corporate/ll_agdinfo.nsf/pages/community_relations_daylight_saving 

This information is not yet covered by the FreeBSD 4.11 zoneinfo files. If it
remains this way, FreeBSD 4.x users in southeastern Australia will encounter
a serious clock problem on March 26, 2006. 

N.B. FreeBSD 5.x and later are not affected by this problem.

 This is probably because the FreeBSD 4.x branch itself is no longer
 actively maintained.  You should plan to migrate to FreeBSD 6.x
 instead.
