 After changing timezones in Russia (with replacing /etc/localtime
with new file), I found that cron works in "old" timezone till
restart. And all other services do the same, but cron is most obvious
here :)

 Looks like libc reads timezone only once and it could not be chamged
for process without restart (which leads to, effectivly, restart of
whole server).

 Is it known problem? I think, it should be fixed somehow. I
understand, that re-check timezone file on each time-related call
could be expensive, though :(
