I was obviously on drugs when I put this in the email, I apologize. It does
indeed work as I expected it to on other values.

In an old 6.4 database I get what I expected ::

hhs=> SELECT age('Sun Dec 03 08:00:00 2000 EST','Tue Oct 10 08:00:00 2000
EDT') as esec;
esec
----------------------
@ 1 mon 24 days 1 hour
(1 row)

hhs=> SELECT ('Tue Oct 10 08:00:00 2000 EDT'::timestamp + '1 mon 24 days 1
hour'::interval);
?column?
----------------------------
Sun Dec 03 07:00:00 2000 CST
(1 row)

(Timezone differences are there and expected, these boxes are all across the
country).
