This is one of those "it works on my machine" issues. My machine fails with the "PST" timestamp and works with the "Pacific Standard Time".

Rather than debugging further - I agree that the spirit of the test is to do some timezone other than UTC. We do not care about how Java parses dates, so replacing PST with "GMT-08:00" should work for everyone.

I have made that change in my fork.
