Description:
------------
I got an update from tzdata on a Debian server due to a daylight saving change here in Argentina (same thing happens on a Fedora 7 server).

The problem is that, even when the system sees the correct time, php keeps giving me the *old* hour (CLI and mod_apache). 

Reproduce code:
---------------
$ date
mi? feb  6 09:03:57 ARST 2008
$ echo "<?php echo date('H:i') . \"\n\"; ?>"|php
08:04


$ date +%z
-0200
$ echo "<?php echo date('Z')/3600 . \"\n\"; ?>"|php
-3
