^^^^^

I haven't checked the timezone history, but 8.1.4 was quite a few
timezone updates ago. Would a DST switch have happened this weekend
under old law where you live? If so, you need to update to a more
modern set of timezone files. Look under (probably, I don't know
gentoo) /usr/share/postgresql/timezone/
