I've tried to duplicate this and have failed. It does appear that Java is
doing something strange with the date, changing it to 11/30/0002, but I
don't understand why, and that has nothing to do with the JDBC driver or
the database. How are you constructing the date value to insert? Please
try the attached test and see what changes are necessary to get the
failure you describe.

The seems like a reasonable thing to do. You can currently determine the
version info from a randomly named pg jdbc jar file by using
org.postgresql.Driver.getVersion(), but that essentially requires writing
a dummy program to do so.
