pgAdmin Crashes After Changing Timezone Setting - Mailing list pgsql-admin

Hi List,

I'm experiencing strange behavior in pgAdmin. I recently noticed that my
PostgreSQL reports a different time to the OS. I checked the time zone
setting and realized it was set to 'Canada/Atlantic'. I tried using
pgAdmin's Backend Configuration Editor to change the time zone in
postgresql.conf to 'America/Barbados' but when I try to save the file,
pgAdmin crashes. The server log has the following entries:

I tried manually editing the postgresql.conf file in Notepad but when I
reload PostgreSQL it ignores the entry in the config file and defaults to
'Canada/Atlantic' time zone. I am using pgAdmin3 v1.8.2.99 and Postgresql
8.3.0. I am able to reproduce this error with PostgreSQL 8.3.0 running on
Windows XP SP2, Windows 2000 SP4 and Windows 2003 SP1. Am I doing something
incorrectly? How do I correctly set the time zone?

Thanks,
