Sounds like Fedora needs to add ZONE="America/New York" to their distro to
cover all the bases. ;>)

Woof!
Executive summary:
/etc/sysconfig/clock is set INCORRECTLY by the Fedora GUI
system-config-date program.
It sets the file thusly:
ZONE="America/New York"
When it should be:
ZONE="America/New_York"
(There is an underscore in the correct version).
Long and boring tech details, all derived from strace and experiment:
It TZ is set, it uses that.
If not, it tries to get ZONE from /etc/sysconfig/clock
If the ZONE is set incorrectly, then Java falls back to trying to parse
/etc/localtime, but it seems to not understand the daylight savings flag
in that case.
So when I used system-config-date to set my NTP servers to "Nortel
Standard" as they block the others (ain't corporate life grand?), it
munged /etc/sysconfig/clock AND it overwrote /etc/localtime (which was a
hard link at the time, which ended up munging the original
/usr/local/share/posixrules file it was linked to.
Moral:
Always use the command line!
--Woof!
