I get the following messages:
<<
File NSData.m: 153. In readContentsOfFile Open
(/usr/GNUstep/Local/Library/Libraries/Resources/gnustep-base/NSTimeZones/zones/CEST)
 attempt failed - No such file or
directory

and
<<

`CEST'... <NSException: e7296f8> NAME:GSTimeZoneFileException REASON:File is

When I do a 
  [[NSCalendarDate alloc] initWithString:@"09/04/2003 17:58:45 CEST"
                              calendarFormat:@"%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S %Z"

There's a CEST in NSTimeZones/abbreviations bu no CEST file 
(NSTimeZones/zones/CEST)

BTW, the message come many times. May be we could cache the negative result 
instead of trying to open the file everytime.
