On the server that is working:
=> show TimeZone;
TimeZone
------------
US/Eastern
(1 row)
On the one that is broken:
show TimeZone;
TimeZone
------------
posixrules
(1 row)

the directories execute permission) was not granted on the
$SHAREDIR/timezone/ directory structure during install. I fixed the
permissions and restarted postgres and now everything is fine.
