[php-maint] Bug#492025: Bug#492025: Timezone database is corrupt

[sean finney]

hi martin,

i still can't reproduce the problem, using the example you cut/pasted or by 
downloading the script in question (i had to comment out a few unrelated 
functions and insert a (false) somewhere to get the code to execute.  do you 
have a specific timezone set?   is this on a lenny/sid system or are you 
using backports?
