The easiest and best solution would be to update to a newer PG release
than 8.0.9 --- installing 8.0.15 over it would be painless and would fix
a number of problems besides this one, including some rather nasty
data-loss risks.

If you really can't be bothered with that, you can probably use your
operating system's copy of the timezone data files (try under
/usr/share/zoneinfo for starters).
