?>
Expected result:
----------------
The correct timezone returned, and preferably the city that has been set
as the timezone for the operating system.
Actual result:
--------------

as Australia/Sydney, has in the past had slightly different daylight
saving start/finish times.
Australia/ACT returned for a set system timezone of Australia/Brisbane,
which are in different timezones, and are 1 hour different during daylight
saving.
