Seems it is still in there somewhere:

test=> create table bb (x timestamp default 'current', y int);
CREATE
test=> insert into bb (y) values (1);
INSERT 16591 1
test=> select * from bb;
x | y
-------------------------------+---
2001-11-13 21:45:22.473896-05 | 1
(1 row)

Do you mean that 'current' is now the same as 'now'? :-)
