Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system
is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.
Thank you for your interest in PHP.
Complain at your distribution for messing it up.

I think this is going to make Derick's head explode :)
This is likely due to the fact that Ubuntu patches PHP to use the system
timezone
info as opposed to the default bundled data. If you build a clean
version of PHP
on Ubuntu using the code we actually distribute, I think you will find
that the
problem goes away.

Description:
------------
Upon first call to date_default_timezone_set, PHP syscalls stat() on all
the
files in /usr/share/zoneinfo.
It can be easily checked by running:
$ strace -s 100 -r php -n -r"date_default_timezone_set('GMT');" 2>&1 |
grep
zoneinfo
On average Debian/Ubuntu system it accounts for little over 600
syscalls.
