free4testing=# show time zone; TimeZone ---------- unknown (1 row) free4testing=# select now(); now ------------------------------- 2003-08-22 14:36:17.994049+02 (1 row) The latter is what I meant by 'it seems to be using the correct timezone'. V7.3.3 on the other Slackware machine shows exactly the same output. V7.4cvs on the machine where I originally tested setting TZ explicitly had TZ set to nothing after the test, so as per docs it reverted to UTC. After unsetting TZ and restarting the postmaster I got the same old behaviour back (my 19 minute wide timezone) with output equal to the one above.
