New Comment:
Derick - we're AUSTRALIA/Melbourne ;) BTW, we don't use EST,
we're on AEST
I did manually set the propert in php.ini and it works fine -
it's just good to flag this for first-time users so they don't
get a shock when they're testing the upgrade.

@studio at peptolab dot com: That's because the timezone abbreviations
are ambigious. EST is both America/New_York and Australia/Melbourne.
The magic method only sees the EST, so it needs to make an assumption.
Set the config param in php.ini to "America/Melbourne" and all will be
well.

I'm getting the same behaviour in RH FC4 - I created an RPM of
5.1.0RC1 and installed that - despite being in the Australia/
Melbourne timezone, I'm automatically assumed to be America/
New_York by PHP. It seems the 'magic' method isn't correctly
picking up my OS settings.

@pash_ka at fonbet dot info: What should we set it to by default?

Please, add "date.timezone" setting to php.ini-dist and
php.ini-recomended in Windows distribution, since it's very important
to all peoples performing updates to PHP 5.1 not to forget set this
value properly.

We've new date/time support that doesn't rely on the OS. If you can
point us how to retrieve the current timezone abbreviation on Windows
with threadsafe code, we're happy to add it.
