It is ignored because there is not US/Eastern timezone file on  
FreeBSD.  Peek in /usr/share/zoneinfo.

On the Mac, there is a US/Eastern file within /usr/share/zoneinfo.   
I'm sure ubuntu has it as well.

This is why you have differences.  The systems don't know the names  
of the zones you're giving them.
