w32tm /tz command crash

[Steven Andrews]

Hello all

Vista Ultimate SP1 64bit. All updates available installed.

Open either standard user command prompt or Elevated command prompt and type

w32tm /tz

Expected results: Details about the current time zones.
Actual result is (3 lines then crash):

Time zone: Current:TIME_ZONE_ID_UNKNOWN Bias: -600min (UTC=LocalTime+Bias)
[Standard Name:"E. Australia Standard Time" Bias:0min Dateunspecified)]
[Daylight Name:"E. Australia Standard Time" Bias:0min Dateunspecified)]

Windows Time Service Diagnostic Tool has stopped working. "Check online
for a solution and close the program" or "Close the program"

The output is also different on XP SP3 than Vista SP1.
The 3rd line: Daylight Name:"E.Australia Standard Time" Bias:0
Dateunspecified) on vista is reported as Bias:-60 on XP.

This may be due a config error, but My time Zone is set correctly
(Brisbane / Australia +10, no Daylight savings (Thats a whole different
story - referendum? - PAH)) and this is reported in Vista.

2 Questions
1: Why the w32tm /tz crash on vista
2: Why the difference in output between vista and XP?

I have since done some more testing:

SBS2008 Premium reports the same error (except the OS Version is different)
Vista 64bit SP1 reports the error
Vista 32 pre SP1 reports the same error / different version numbers.

I've logged it as a bug on connect.microsoft.com
