__construct(): Unknown or bad timezone

[csdougliss]

Magento EE 1.14.3.8

Appears in checkout, results in order failure screen, but the order goes through successfully? Doesn't happen all the time.

I've seen multiple reports of this, probably not related to Turpentine. A good start might be here even if the Q is for M2. Closing for now, feel free to reopen.
