Description: DST Time Zone Bug related to: select now() at time
zone 'EST'
Details:

I have recently noticed a problem since the Daylight savings time change
(past 1-2 days).
The following query returns the time from an hour ago (I'm in EST, but I
need to be able to handle other time zones):
select now() at time zone 'EST'
or select now() at time zone 'CST'

This query returns the correct time for EST:
select now()
