If the current behavior does not match the docs then it qualifies as a
bug fix ;-). I have no objections to this one.
Thomas, what do you think of the persistent reports of date conversion
problems at DST boundaries, eg, Ayal Leibowitz's report today in
pgsql-bugs? I cannot reproduce any such problem --- and my local
timezone database claims that MET DST transitions are the last week of
March, never the first week of April, anyway. There's something funny
going on there.
regards, tom lane
