- I did fixed it by

  // quick fix on my place
  //date_default_timezone_set("Europe/Berlin");
  
  //a better fix
  if(function_exists("date_default_timezone_set") and function_exists("date_default_timezone_get")) {
   @date_default_timezone_set(@date_default_timezone_get());

  But I guess it might be time to add to Mahara's site configuration a
  setting about 'server timezone' and use it 'a la Moodle'
