[Grant Baillie]

Hi, Paul

I agree US/Eastern and America/New_York are supposed to be the same  
timezone (with US/Eastern being somewhat deprecated). What operating  
system are you running? It's possible the timezone we get back from  
the operating system is called "US/Eastern" but differs in some subtle  
way from the "standard" US/Eastern (e.g. hasn't been updated for the  
daylight savings changes a year or two ago).
