That would be cool. I don't have a freebsd machine to try it on though;
can you check CVS tip and see?
FWIW, I get
regression=# select timestamptz '2002-4-7 2:0:0.0';
timestamptz
------------------------
2002-04-07 03:00:00-04
(1 row)
but I got that (on HPUX) before the change too. I think it's correct
--- essentially, given an "impossible" time in the spring-forward gap,
we choose to assume that it is meant as local standard time. (In the
other case at fall-back boundaries, an ambiguous time is likewise
taken as standard time not DST.)
