Description:
------------
The Date_TimeZone class uses the global variable $default as the default time zone object. It should be something like (according to PEAR guidlines) $_Date_default_time_zone.

It looks like you might be intending to use static class variables, which don't function as expected in PHP 4.x, IIRC. The above is probably best to use.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Date_TimeZone::setDefault('CST');
$tz = Date_TimeZone::getDefault();
echo "$tz->id\n";

$default = 'EST';
$tz = Date_TimeZone::getDefault();
echo "$tz->id\n";

Expected result:
----------------
CST
CST

Actual result:
--------------
CST
EST
