 I am not sure why this logic exists but from the way I see it if the
 default timezone is set, overwrite the setting with "UTC" timezone. It
 doesn't make sense to me because I could have set a date.timezone setting
 in php.ini and I wish to use that setting instead of UTC. After the fix,
 all PHP date() calls return datetime values based on the timezone set in
 php.ini.

 wp-settings.php Line 36
 {{{
 // Set default timezone in PHP 5.
 if ( function_exists( 'date_default_timezone_set' ) )
         date_default_timezone_set( 'UTC' );
 }}}

 My fix:
 {{{
 // Set default timezone in PHP 5.
 if ( !function_exists( 'date_default_timezone_set' ) )
         date_default_timezone_set( 'UTC' );
 }}}
