raw mail file with funny timestamps

Hi!

I am under the impression that I made my box a TAI zoneinfo file...
You can find it here: http://www0.wgboome.org/zoneinfo-TAI.tar.xz
i. e.:
1. There are no funny steps or smeary seconds...
2. The UTC offset (TAI minus UTC) is currently +37 seconds...

Exim seems to assume that the UTC offset modulo 60 is zero...
Now it looks like the email arrives 37 seconds before I sent it...

I think this could be fixed by one of these changes:
1. the UTC offset is given with seconds... e. g.: 12:34:56 +000037
2. the timezone is given abbreviated... e. g.: 12:34:56 TAI
3. the timestamp is converted into UTC... e. g. 12:34:19 +0000

Is there a chance, that someone here will make exim say the correct time on my
box, too?
Or should I better patch exim myself?

P. S.:
Firefox and Google Chrome behave funny here, too...
I wrote a javascript to prove that: http://timekeeper.firewall-gateway.com./

Thx.

Bye.
