Description:
------------
When using new DateTime class it sets (or just formats) bogus timezone if year is before 1922. For year 1922 timezone is correct but for 1921 is showing wrong.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$a = new DateTime();
$a->setDate(1922, 1, 1);
$a->setTime(5, 3, 2);
echo $a->format(DateTime::W3C) . "\n";
$a->setDate(1921, 1, 1);
$a->setTime(5, 3, 2);
echo $a->format(DateTime::W3C) . "\n";
?>


Expected result:
----------------
1922-01-01T05:03:02+02:00
1921-01-01T05:03:02+02:00


Actual result:
--------------
1922-01-01T05:03:02+02:00
1921-01-01T05:03:02+01:39

Which time zone setting are you using? See phpinfo() output for the value of the date.timezone setting.

When I changed in php.ini date.timezone to Europe/Riga what is what I should have. I get even stranger results:
<?php
$a = new DateTime();
for ($i = 2006; $i > 1900; $i--)
{
    $a->setDate($i, 1, 1);
    $a->setTime(5, 3, 2);
    echo $a->format(DateTime::W3C) . "<br />";
}
?>

How strange it might be, it is correct as the following entry in the time zone database illustrates:
# Zone  NAME            GMTOFF  RULES   FORMAT  [UNTIL]
Zone    Europe/Riga     1:36:24 -       LMT     1880

                        1:36:24 1:00    LST     1918 Sep 16 3:00 #Latvian Summer
                        1:36:24 -       RMT     1919 Apr  1 2:00
