The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference: 2093
Logged by: Bjrn Sjlenius
Email address: salvium(at)gmail(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 8.1
Operating system: OpenBSD 3.8
Description: SUM of timeintervals, no problems in 8.0.3
Details:

Just upgraded fron 8.0.5 to 8.1, and a function where I summerize logon time
now give quite odd result. Duplicated the problem;

----------------- Commands to execute ------------------
createdb test
psql test

CREATE TABLE activity_tab (
nick character varying(32),
logon timestamp with time zone,
logoff timestamp with time zone
);

COPY activity_tab (nick, logon, logoff) FROM stdin USING DELIMITERS '|';
apa|2005-11-01 00:00:00+01|2005-11-01 23:00:00+01
apa|2005-11-02 00:00:00+01|2005-11-02 23:00:00+01
apa|2005-11-03 00:00:00+01|2005-11-04 23:00:00+01
\.

SELECT LOWER(nick) AS "nick", SUM(logoff-logon) AS "time"
FROM activity_tab
GROUP BY LOWER(nick);

\q

dropdb test

----------------- End of commands ------------------

The result I get;
nick | time
------+----------------
apa | 1 day 69:00:00

Expected result is what 8.0.3 give me;
nick | time
------+----------------
apa | 3 days 21:00:00

Hope you can help! And a BIG THANKYOU for your great work!

Best regards, Bjrn
