Parse error "25:00" Hours component "25" is out of range.

I am getting this error with the latest 2018g timezone database file:

Parse error at line 3422: "Rule Japan 1948 1951 - Sep Sat>=8 25:00 0 S" [Failed to parse time string "25:00" with error: Hours component "25" is out of range.].

Thanks for reporting. This will be rectified shortly.

For the reference, relevant changes from the NEWS file in tzdata:

Release 2018g - 2018-10-26 22:22:45 -0700

The translator to rearguard format now rewrites the line
"Rule Japan 1948 1951 - Sep Sat>=8 25:00 0 S" to
"Rule Japan 1948 1951 - Sep Sun>=9 1:00 0 S".
This caters to zic before 2007 and to Oracle TZUpdater 2.2.0
and earlier. (Reported by Christos Zoulas.)

Release 2018f - 2018-10-18 00:14:18 -0700

The 1948-1951 fallback transitions in Japan were at 25:00 on
September's second Saturday, not at 24:00. (Thanks to Phake Nick.)
zic turns this into 01:00 on the day after September's second
Saturday, which is the best that POSIX or C platforms can do.

Thank you for your quick reply!

There is one more error that I noticed:
Parse error at line 8216: "
1:00 -1:00 GMT 1947 Feb 23 2:00" [Rule on Zone line " 1:00 -1:00 GMT 1947 Feb 23 2:00" not found.].

I worked around this by commenting out line 995 in the europe timezone file:
1:00 -1:00 GMT 1947 Feb 23 2:00

There is one more error that I noticed:
Parse error at line 8216: "

Yes, the parser is giving out about an unknown notation - fixed negative DST offset in Zone definition.

This will be rectified in ticket #8.
