Is that really the release version, or a prerelease?  (To be specific,
do you have v 1.49 of src/backend/utils/adt/timestamp.c?)

If you live in the USA, 4/1 was a DST transition day: there is no such
time as 2:29 AM local time.  Some C libraries cope with this better than
others.  We made some last-minute patches in 7.1.1 that are intended to
work around the less-well-behaved libraries, and I'm wondering whether
you have 'em.
