free4testing=# select version();
version

PostgreSQL 7.4beta1 on i586-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC 2.95.3
(1 row)
free4testing=# select timestamptz '1901/12/13 23:59:59.99999';
timestamptz

(1 row)
free4testing=# select timestamptz '1901/12/13 23:59:59.999999999';
timestamptz

1901-12-14 00:19:00+00:19

free4testing=# select timestamptz '2001/12/14 0:0:0';
