It looked odd to me too, but you haven't told us anything useful.
What's the platform, what's the PG version, how exactly did you get the
value from PG (is it "select now()", or what?), what exactly do you have
PG's TIMEZONE variable set to?  And what application are you comparing
the results to?  Calling "PDT" "Pacific Standard Time" doesn't exactly
leave me with warm fuzzies about that application's level of timezone-fu,
whatever it is.
