I think this test is supposed to fail when it's run near a DST transition. The question to be asking is, then, is the server running with a timezone that has just changed DST or is about to change? In this case, ignore the report. Note in the diff below that the originals have PDT (second column)/PDT (fourth column) while the result obtained from the test is PDT/PST; or PST/PDT and PST/PST; or PST/PST and PST/PDT. Does this explain the issue? > *** ./expected/horology.out Sun Jul 11 04:57:20 2004 > --- ./results/horology.out Thu Sep 29 20:48:57 2005 > *************** > *** 1775,1784 **** > | Wed Mar 15 13:14:02 2000 PST | @ 34 years | Tue > Mar 15 13:14:02 1966 PST > | Sun Dec 31 17:32:01 2000 PST | @ 34 years | Sat > Dec 31 17:32:01 1966 PST > | Mon Jan 01 17:32:01 2001 PST | @ 34 years | Sun > Jan 01 17:32:01 1967 PST > ! | Sat Sep 22 18:19:20 2001 PDT | @ 34 years | Fri > Sep 22 18:19:20 1967 PDT > ! | Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 PST | @ 5 mons 12 hours | Thu > Jul 31 12:00:00 1969 PDT > ! | Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 PST | @ 5 mons | Fri > Aug 01 00:00:00 1969 PDT > ! | Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 PST | @ 3 mons | Wed > Oct 01 00:00:00 1969 PDT > | Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 PST | @ 10 days | Mon > Dec 22 00:00:00 1969 PST > | Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 PST | @ 1 day 2 hours 3 mins 4 secs | Tue > Dec 30 21:56:56 1969 PST > | Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 PST | @ 5 hours | Wed > Dec 31 19:00:00 1969 PST > --- 1775,1784 ---- > | Wed Mar 15 13:14:02 2000 PST | @ 34 years | Tue > Mar 15 13:14:02 1966 PST > | Sun Dec 31 17:32:01 2000 PST | @ 34 years | Sat > Dec 31 17:32:01 1966 PST > | Mon Jan 01 17:32:01 2001 PST | @ 34 years | Sun > Jan 01 17:32:01 1967 PST > ! | Sat Sep 22 18:19:20 2001 PDT | @ 34 years | Fri > Sep 22 18:19:20 1967 PST > ! | Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 PST | @ 5 mons 12 hours | Thu > Jul 31 12:00:00 1969 PST > ! | Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 PST | @ 5 mons | Fri > Aug 01 00:00:00 1969 PST > ! | Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 PST | @ 3 mons | Wed > Oct 01 00:00:00 1969 PST > | Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 PST | @ 10 days | Mon > Dec 22 00:00:00 1969 PST > | Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 PST | @ 1 day 2 hours 3 mins 4 secs | Tue > Dec 30 21:56:56 1969 PST > | Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 PST | @ 5 hours | Wed > Dec 31 19:00:00 1969 PST -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.PlanetPostgreSQL.org "Porque Kim no hacia nada, pero, eso sí, con extraordinario éxito" ("Kim", Kipling) ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
