Problem Description:
--------------------
When I use "SELECT CURRENT_DATE" postgres returns 10-03-2135 - even if the current date on the
system is feb 1. 1999. (The backend is configured to use european
format on dates)

If I change the system-date, the CURRENT_DATE is changed accordingly, alway
49710 days off.

I've tried the same configuration on a redhat 5.1 intel-system, and
there it works fine. I've tried mailling on the admin-maillinglist
but didn't get any replies.
