Hi Josh,

It looks like I was looking down the wrong rabbit hole.  Sorry for the
noise.  However, I am seeing odd behavior with clients setting timezone
to 'UTC' that changed since 9.0.0 and 9.0.3.  Superficially, it appears
9.0.3 isn't traversing /usr/share/zoneinfo properly to find Etc/UTC.

I'll post to -general@ once I've verified it isn't pilot error.

Best regards,
