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?
