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

On the one that is broken:

  show TimeZone;

------------
  posixrules

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.
