Actually this is expected.  8.1 groups hours and days separately,
because there is no way to know if 1 day means 23, 24 or 25 hours (or
even a fractional number like 24.5) in the presence of a daylight-saving
switch event.  So "1 day 69 hours" is actually more correct.

There is a function to convert to the older format:

alvherre=# select justify_hours('1 day 69:00:00');
  justify_hours  
-----------------
 3 days 21:00:00
