You certain this is PG 8.1? Every release of 8.1.x has shipped with
timezone data files that included the 2007 rule change. In the 8.0
series, 8.0.4 and up should have that update. PG 7.x releases are
dependent on the operating system's timezone knowledge.
FWIW, my copy of 8.1.5 produces
regression=# select * from dst where tzage <> '12 hrs';
tz1 | tz2 | tzage

where
regression=# show timezone;
TimeZone

America/New_York

(Another possibility I guess is you have the wrong timezone setting?)
