I'm running PostgreSQL 8.0.1 from the NetBSD pkgsrc package. I'm getting some
odd behavior with time zone names:
    SET timezone TO 'JST';    psql:z.sql:1: ERROR:  unrecognized time zone name: "JST"    SET timezone TO 'EST';
psql:z.sql:2:ERROR:  unrecognized time zone name: "EST"    SET timezone TO 'Asia/Tokyo';    psql:z.sql:3: ERROR:
unrecognizedtime zone name: "Asia/Tokyo"    SET timezone TO 'US/Eastern';    psql:z.sql:4: ERROR:  unrecognized time
zonename: "US/Eastern"    SET timezone TO 'Asia/Tokyo-9';    SET    SELECT '2004-08-22 18:42:12' AT TIME ZONE
'Asia/Tokyo';   psql:z.sql:7: ERROR:  time zone "asia/tokyo" not recognized    SELECT '2004-08-22 18:42:12' AT TIME
ZONE'Asia/Tokyo-9';    psql:z.sql:8: ERROR:  time zone "asia/tokyo-9" not recognized    SELECT '2004-08-22 18:42:12' AT
TIMEZONE 'JST';      timezone    ---------------------     2004-08-22 18:42:12    (1 row)
 

Anybody have any idea what's going on here? The only patch pkgsrc makes
is related to shared library version numbers for a couple of operating
systems, so I don't think that this is package-specific. It may be
NetBSD-specific, however.
