Bug #443: Problem with time functions.

Alessandro Rossi (alex(at)sunrise(dot)radiostudiodelta(dot)it>) reports a bug with a severity of 2
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
Problem with time functions.

Long Description
Here is the DB and some sample entries.

CREATE TABLE "timetest" (
"id" serial primary key,
"timebegin" time,
"timeend" time
);

insert into timetest (timebegin,timeend) values ('12:00:20','12:01:00');
insert into timetest (timebegin,timeend) values ('14:00:20','14:02:00');
insert into timetest (timebegin,timeend) values ('15:00:00','15:00:40');

THIS SELECT DOESN'T WORK:
select sum(timeend-timebegin) as totaltime from timetest;

HERE IS WHAT POSTGRES REPORT:

timetest=# select sum(timeend-timebegin) as totaltime from timetest;
