I finally got a chance to play around with this, and it looks like it's a
universal problem. Creating a symlink from /usr/share/zoneinfo to
/usr/lib/zoneinfo -- that is,

ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo /usr/lib

-- is supposed to fix it (and actually works on my machine). I've read
that the problem has to do with various library functions disagreeing over
where to look for the "zoneinfo" info, but I don't know if that's correct.

Hope that saves you time. (Heh Heh.)
