Actually, just to let you all know, Kevin Chu had the easy fix for me.
It turns out that asclock was trying to refer to the incorrect timezone
directory, and this is a known problem with RedHat 5.0 (and still is wrong
with 5.1 obviously, since that's what I run).
All you need to do is make the link between /usr/lib/zoneinfo and
/usr/share/zoneinfo
Thanks, Kevin!  8-)  And thanks everyone else for the effort!
