It looks like Ruby folks encountered the Morocco issue [1] before us. They closed the issue on their bug tracker blaming glibc. This tells us, I guess, that we should skip this transition on the affected systems. Unfortunately, it is not just 32-bit time_t systems - I was able to reproduce the problem on 64-bit Fedora 22. If no one suggests a better way, I will just skip year 2037 transitions unconditionally. [1]: https://github.com/tzinfo/tzinfo-data/issues/10
