Wrong Olson Timezone Offsets?


I'll take your first example here:

[60] => Array    (        [ts] => 1236481200        [time] => 2009-03-08T03:00:00+0000        [offset] => -14400        [isdst] =>         [abbr] => WART    )

However, if you check Time&Date the standard offset should be -10800 (3 hours) and not -14400

From what I've read, this is not true; according to this article, around that time (March 3rd 2009) the timezone was changed to UTC-4 when there's no daylight saving and UTC-3 if there is. Though, the mentioned date in the article is March 14/15 and not March 8 ... I'm not sure what has caused that difference.
