This solution also works for me (creating a link to /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Central in my case). I originally reported this bug against Dapper, but it seemed to go away with Edgy (DST was not in effect when I installed Edgy and the problem did not appear when DST started in March). However, it returned when I installed Feisty beta recently, and it didn't matter whether I used sun-java5 or sun-java6.
Thanks for this solution. It will at least allow me to use the applications that depend on it until a better solution is provided.
