That makes sense, of course. I'm guessing this is because I formally
used the pgInstaller and since 8.4 is not supported yet by pgInstaller I
moved to the EnterpriseDB installer. The man behind the current must
have done the build with different options. Would you concur? Maybe I
should ask the man behind the curtain (Dave Page).
Thanks!

Probably you've got 8.4 compiled with integer timestamps where the 8.3
DB used float timestamps, or perhaps vice-versa.
