US Day light saving patch

Hi

As per Suns guide, I have installed the 2 patches that are required to prepare
for the US DST change. The first patch updates the zoneinfo database in
/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo and I can test that the patch has worked by running
the following command

zdump -v US/Eastern | grep 2007

The second patch is a patch that makes changes to the libc library for POSIX
based timezone stuff. Which I have applied and rebooted

My question , How do I test that the libc/POSIX patch has worked???? .... What
command can I use to see if the date has changed ? As I say testing the
zoneinfo patch is easy...but this one has me stumped

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers
Gary
