Well, it appears to me that there are a couple of things going on
here... Apparently Java is having some troubles however I had a
chance to check this on a Leopard machine today and I see why we
didn't see this problem before SnowLeopard.
When you select the Toronto timezone (and possibly other areas...),
you get a different timezone file selections:
On Leopard /etc/localtime is sym-linked to /usr/share/zoneinfo/
Canada/Eastern
On SnowLeopard /etc/localtime is sym-linked to /usr/share/zoneinfo/
America/Toronto
So, a work around on SnowLeopard is to sym-link /etc/localtime to /
usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Eastern and avoid setting the timezone
with System Preferences.
Some belt and suspenders: When I sym-linked /etc/localtime to /usr/
share/zoneinfo/America/Toronto on Leopard, I saw the same broken
behaviour as we're seeing on SnowLeopard... For both Java 1.5 and
Java 1.4.2.
That's strange. On my system both these files are identical (same
sha1/md5 hash), so you wouldn't expect the destination of the
symlink to make any significant difference.
Are both these files the same on your system?
Yes, they appear identical for me.
