I don't check where is a problem in detail, but I will fix something
in to_char() code now and I will try check interval problem too. I
think the basic problem is in interval2tm() function -- maybe we will
need some other method how convert interval to 'tm' struct (the
to_char() code is based on 'tm').

I'm open for all suggestions and volunteers of course.
