First I initdb'd without TZ set. So every time I start the server I get LOG: could not recognize system timezone, defaulting to "Etc/GMT-4" HINT: You can specify the correct timezone in postgresql.conf.
I've fixed the minor issue here, which is that the sign is backwards --- it ought to select "Etc/GMT+4". The larger issue is that it's not recognizing your system timezone because the only name it can cons up for the zone is "CLT4CLST", which doesn't work because it has the wrong DST rules. (I think it's just luck that it realizes that, actually :-().
With a freshly updated CVS tree I get the wrong sign on the timezone here:
LOG: could not recognize system timezone, defaulting to "Etc/GMT-12" HINT: You can specify the correct timezone in postgresql.conf. LOG: database system was shut down at 2004-05-25 15:15:44 GMT-12
My timezone is NZST which is GMT+12. TZ is not set. This is a Debian box with libc-2.3.2.

Also, unless I'm missing something, shouldn't Chile (Alvaro's timezone?) be behind GMT (GMT-something) not ahead of it (GMT+something)?
