I'm using 7.0.2 version on debian 2.2. Standard timezone here is GMT-3,
but we´re currently in DST since 8 Oct 2000.
Never changed datestyle setting - I'm only using ISO8601 notation to
manipulate values.

And now I've noticed something even weird - leaving psql interface and
entering it again, that query show me the right result! But if I drop the
table, create the same structure with the same data then I get wrong
result again!?

Well, anyway, I'll try upgrading to 7.0.3...
