    Thanks for catching this.  Comparing against 
    WET, MET, and EET, I think the intended solution
    is to say CET instead of CEST in the file.
    
    Really the right thing to do is allow and display
    four-char time zones, but I'm not convinced that's
    worth the pain.  I didn't want to go halfway and
    truncate because I know there are some programs
    that assume time zones end in T.
    
    I updated /adm/timezone/CET.
