Thanks Ondrej (again)

I have concluded -> no idea :)

All seems to be reading correctly within fpc, just not calculating 
offsets as I would expect ?

My workaround was to create a custom zoneinfo file and use that on my 
dev system.

All working OK now, so will tentatively conclude is specific to my 
system configuration.
