Exception using dollar-quoted string

Hi,

when I'm trying to execute the following command with a java.sql.Statement
an error occurs:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test(text) RETURNS void AS $$ DECLARE tmp text;
BEGIN tmp := 'test'; END; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: unterminated dollar-quoted string
at or near "$$ DECLARE tmp text"

The command: CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test(text) RETURNS void AS ' DECLARE
tmp text; BEGIN tmp := "test"; END; ' LANGUAGE plpgsql;

works fine, also creating the function with php (phppgadmin). I have the
latest version of the jdbc driver.
Is this a bug, or my fault?

Thanks,
