I can confirm in etch with php5 5.2.0-8+etch10 only under i686, but
not under x86_64.

Related stuff:

On the machine where I can reproduce:
$ apt-cache policy tzdata
tzdata:
  Installed: 2007k-1etch1

On the machine where I can NOT reproduce:
$ apt-cache policy tzdata
tzdata:
  Installed: 2007j-1etch1

... but even after upgrading to 2007k-1etch1, as expected, I still
can't reproduce.

I guess valgrind is our friend in this case, anyone willing to track this down?

P.S. I can't reproduce the problem on lenny/sid.
