possible bug in mysql_tzinfo_to_sql

[Alagar samy]

i used mysql_tzinfo_to_sql utility to create timezone_* database  after upgrading zoneinfo
in my host.

after that i am seeing this mismatch. 

'America/Sao_Paulo' (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=233) and
'America/Buenos_Aires' (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=51) are
supposed to have same time information .. but mysql database shows differently ..  

is this a bug somewhere ?
