Oh, that's your problem then --- 'EST5EDT' is being taken as a Posix
spec for lack of any matching file.

Should work to just copy over the timezone directory tree from a correct

if the file format is machine-dependent or not).  You might have to
restart the postmaster too, before it starts behaving entirely sanely.
