Background
The database can run on different timezone settings. The definition of recognized timezones can change according to the database provided by iana.org.
These changes could invalidate previously existing timezones.
Description
If the database timezone setting is invalid (doesn't exist) then the logserver will crash with a SIGSEGV.
Improvement
The logserver is now robust to invalid timezones and operates internally in UTC.
