I tried with postgresql-8.2-507.jdbc3.jar, and it works like a charm!
Not only that, but the getTimestamp() too! I was starting to question my night

Thank you a lot! I didnt know jdbc newer versions were backward compatible
with older servers.

Just a comment:
Why not merge from current changes/bugfixes to the JDBC?
I mean 7.4 is old ok, but *officially supported* also!
