You're right as far as I can tell. 8.1 has the expected output.

The failing tests are different instances of this basic example:

Expected:
Wed Mar 15 08:14:01 2000 PST + 34 years = Wed Mar 15 08:14:01 2034 PST

Here (and PostgreSQL >= 8.x):
Wed Mar 15 08:14:01 2000 PST + 34 years = Wed Mar 15 08:14:01 2034 PDT

Still, I don't understand why March 15th should be day light saving
time. But hey, I don't live in the PST8PDT time zone. ;-)

Thanks for your answer.
