Bug reference:      4935
Logged by:          Frank Spies
Email address:      frank.sp...@biotronik.com
PostgreSQL version: 8.4
Operating system:   Linux
Description:        Weird input syntax for intervals, part 2
Details: 

After finding out that bug #4918 was already fixed in 8.4 release, I played
around with the interval input syntax in 8.4 and found that 
'2.5' year
is not the same as
'2.5 year'
in release 8.4: 

psql -ddb_frank
psql (8.4.0)
Type "help" for help.

db_frank=#  select interval '2.5' year;
 interval
----------
 2 years
(1 row)

db_frank=#  select interval '2.5 year';
    interval
----------------
 2 years 6 mons
(1 row)

db_frank=# select version();
 PostgreSQL 8.4.0 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc-4.3.real
(Ubuntu 4.3.3-5ubuntu4) 4.3.3, 64-bit

(I posted this already as reply to bug 4918, but nobody answered, probably
because the problem was already resolved)
