TIMESTAMP comparison problem

I have a problem in comparing a TIMESTAMP field with a timestamp
literal. I presume it is to do with the floating point representation of
the timestamp but I was wondering if there is an easy work around
without having to recompile postgres to use integer datetimes.

Basically if I issue a "SELECT * FROM T WHERE tstamp>'xxxxx';" I get
xxxxx as my first field.
If I reduce the precision to 3 for the timestamps it appears to work
although it makes me nervous.

I am running postgresql 8.2.5 on NetBSD 3.

Should I just recompile to use integer datetimes? I would like to have
at least microsecond precision.

Thanks
Stuart
