This fixes the hang, but then displays the wrong data type for the
first column - e.g.

SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, CAST ( CURRENT_TIMESTAMP AS text ) ;

will show the columns as "now text(8)" and "now text", when it should
be "now timestamp with time zone", "now text"

Note that SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP also gets this a little wrong - it
shows "now timestamp with time zone(8)" (the size shouldn't be
included)
