I guess this is the same problem the other gentleman reported on the ML, and 
was due to some problem in the DB.

I was not able to reproduce this. Simo, can you follow up on this? I don't 
recall what the problem the other gentleman reported. If it's the same problem, 
let's reply to this issue with what the solution was. Thanks!

I guess it's the same problem... some problem with the DB:
TimeZoneId in subtext_config was null... just set it to UTC and then edit to 
your value

Let me know if it helps

Is this something we can fix automatically?
