SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE on 7.0 - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi!!
On a debian 2.2.19:

$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql --version
psql (PostgreSQL) 7.0.3
contains readline, history support

uidb=# SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE ;
SET VARIABLE
uidb=# SHOW TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL ;
NOTICE:  TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL is READ COMMITTED
SHOW VARIABLE

Has the variable really been setted?
Is it a bug of the SHOW or what?

Thanks.
