What does it attempt to open?

Ah, this may help:

open("/usr/share/zoneinfo/", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = 47
open("/usr/share/zoneinfo/MST7MDT", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = 48
open("/usr/share/zoneinfo/MST7MDT/", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory)
