We figured the problem out.

Subject: [HACKERS] TIMESTAMP and daylight savings time question

It appears that the older versions of PostgreSQL (7.x) do not consider
the daylight savings time when using TIMESTAMP WITH TIMEZONE but the
most recent versions do (8.x).
Can someone tell me the exact PostgreSQL version number where the
behavior changed?
