Bug reference:      1994
Logged by:          Nicholas
Email address:      hb@mo.x256.org
PostgreSQL version: 8.0.3,8.0.4,8.1
Operating system:   Gentoo Linux
Description:        Ignore the last bug report; this is a confusing time
zone feature, not a bug
Details:

I thought Postgres didn't support automatically dealing with daylight
savings; I guess it does, hence the change in time zone when crossing the
DST boundary.
