Description

A user reported problems on IRC. It turns out that couchdb (or mochiweb) barfs when the local machine is set to some timezones.

I set my local timezone to Western Indonesian Time (WIT) and reproduced the bug.

Steps
1) Change to WIT
2) Visit Futon

Error;

{"error":"unknown_error","reason":"badarg"}
