Thanks Tom for your thoughts :)

I tried what you suggested to no avail :-(

Looking at this more closely I see this format when the error arises:
"Mon Jun 29 15:28:10.952151 2009 WEST"

Curiously enough this is what the following command throws out of
/etc/localtime:

zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2009
/etc/localtime Sun Mar 29 00:59:59 2009 UTC = Sun Mar 29 00:59:59
2009 WET isdst=0 gmtoff=0
/etc/localtime Sun Mar 29 01:00:00 2009 UTC = Sun Mar 29 02:00:00
2009 WEST isdst=1 gmtoff=3600
/etc/localtime Sun Oct 25 00:59:59 2009 UTC = Sun Oct 25 01:59:59
2009 WEST isdst=1 gmtoff=3600
/etc/localtime Sun Oct 25 01:00:00 2009 UTC = Sun Oct 25 01:00:00
2009 WET isdst=0 gmtoff=0

Even though I'm *sure* that the system's timezone is set to
'Atlantic/Madeira'...

This is what's defined in postgresql.conf

datestyle = 'iso, ymd'
timezone = 'Atlantic/Madeira'
