Fixed in current sources by using mktime() rather than by rotating the
date to 12 noon to try to get the correct time zone (didn't work around
daylight savings time).

Hmm, didn't see the thread (I unsubscribed from -general due to mailing
list overload).

And I don't yet see the problem on my machine:

setenv PGTZ America/Buenos_Aires
lockhart=# set datestyle='postgres,european';

lockhart=# select '01-10-2000'::date::timestamp;
 Sun 01 Oct 00:00:00 2000 ART

lockhart=# select '13-10-2000'::date::timestamp;
 Fri 13 Oct 00:00:00 2000 ART

lockhart=# select '01-10-2000'::date::timestamp;
 Sun 01 Oct 00:00:00 2000 ART

lockhart=# select version();
 PostgreSQL 7.0.2 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc 2.95.3

This is on a Mandrake 7.1 box with RPMs built from Lamar's source RPMs.
Can someone else reproduce the problem on a RedHat 6.2 box?
