The same on SUM():
prova=> select sum(int_2), sum(int_4), sum(int_8) from a;
sum|sum|       sum
---+---+----------
 -2| -2|-467947444
(1 row)
but it works as follow:
prova=> select avg(int_2*1.0), avg(int_4*1.0), avg(int_8*1.0) from a;
  avg|       avg|avg
-----+----------+-------------------
32767|2147483647|9.2233720366208e+18
(1 row)
prova=> select sum(int_2*1.0), sum(int_4*1.0), sum(int_8*1.0) from a;
  sum|       sum|sum
-----+----------+--------------------
65534|4294967294|1.84467440732416e+19
(1 row)
