Hmph. Is your installation built with --enable-integer-datetimes?
(Try "show integer_datetimes;" if you're not sure.)
On my devel machine, I get this in 8.3
regression=# select '1999-08-06 00:12:57.999999900Z'::timestamptz;
timestamptz
------------------------
1999-08-05 20:12:58-04
(1 row)
and this in 8.4
regression=# select '1999-08-06 00:12:57.999999900Z'::timestamptz;
ERROR: date/time field value out of range: "1999-08-06 00:12:57.999999900Z"
LINE 1: select '1999-08-06 00:12:57.999999900Z'::timestamptz;
^
but I bet it's the change in the default integer_datetimes setting
that is the relevant difference.
