>Description:

	Brazil can't decide on which days should daylight savings begin/end.
It began October 6 last year (because of Pope's visit and foreign network
television not paying attention to when would DS begin), and it will end
March first this year because of electrical problems. Aside from that, and
until the next time someone decides he has nothing better to do, latest
normal rules apply.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Wait a single more week... :-)

>Fix:
	
	This fix corrects not only the newest government bs, but it also
corrects last year government bs, since whoever handed around the patch
last year did not follow my advise to submit it.
