Comment(by otto at kolsi dot fi):

 I have similar problem with freshly installed trunk on Fedora 10. In the
 machine /etc/sysconfig/clock contains:
 {{{
 # The ZONE parameter is only evaluated by system-config-date.
 # The time zone of the system is defined by the contents of
 /etc/localtime.
 ZONE="Europe/Helsinki"
 }}}

 Error in MythWeb is:
 {{{
 Failed to set php timezone to U
 }}}

 Running the Perl script gives:
 {{{
 $ ./myth_timezone.pl
 Use of uninitialized value $name in concatenation (.) or string at
 ./myth_timezone.pl line 44.
 Current Timezone
   offset: UNKNOWN_COMMAND
     name:
 }}}

 Tried to apply Sphery's attached patch but it doesn't seem to fix the
 issue for me.
