Certainly not cron.

Try including "RTC" in your searches. I belive that the RTC (real time clock) 
must be always referencing the timezone file, but I don't know more than that 
(I may be wrong, but I think it would have to, at least periodically). 
Probably you will have to look at the kernel source code.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
