Timezone test fails with 4.0.18 on linux?

[Jason Kinkade]

I recently installed MySQL 4.0.18 on my slackware 9.1 machine (kernel
2.4.25) by compiling the source. It works fine, and all tests pass
except one. The timezone test. Can someone tell me why I'm getting
this error? Is there something with the TZ variable I have to set for
the shell? I think its EDT right now.
timezone [ fail ]

Errors are (from /custompath/mysql/mysql-test/var/log/mysqltest-time)
:
/custompath/mysql/bin/mysqltest: At line 48: Result length mismatch
(the last line(s) may be the ones that caused the die() in mysqltest)
Below are the diffs between actual and expected results:
