Yea it had an interval before.

no I didn't touch template 0 or 1, but it just dawned on me that doing so may
save a step for me having to run that command with every database I install.

A whle ago I had this problem..

SELECT now() AT TIME ZONE interval '-5 hours'

returns type interval not timestamp with//out time zone.

A prety knowledgable guy Tom Lane suggested the above fix.

When I was getting a segfault on a query similar to that it dawned on me that
i may need to run that command again since I had moved the database to a new
server, and presto it worked :)
