PostgreSQL version: 8.1.4
Operating system:   Mac OS X 10.4.6, intel
Description:        min and max return incorrect text type

Table 9-37. Aggregate Functions in the Postgres docs states that the return
type for min and max is the "same as argument type".

However, min(VARCHAROID) and max(VARCHAROID) return TEXTOID as a result
type.
