Err... brain-o on my part (didn't know what I was looking for until I
put in a date that does exist and followed it through):

If I use 3am on the 7th, I get the following:
(gdb) print *tm
$2 =3D {tm_sec =3D 0, tm_min =3D 0, tm_hour =3D 3, tm_mday =3D 7, tm_mon =
=3D 3,
tm_year =3D 102, tm_wday =3D 0, tm_yday =3D 96, tm_isdst =3D 1,
tm_gmtoff =3D -25200, tm_zone =3D 0x28420c78 "PDT"}
Looks like it's a "bug" in mktime() on FreeBSD: it doesn't seem to do
so well with invalid times that happen between daylight savings
time... or is that a postgres thing for not kicking up an error (out
of bounds time)? Or should 2am PST be converted to 3am? -sc
