Ah, that's the missing bit:

regression=# select now()::timestamp;
            now
----------------------------
 2006-01-10 14:44:31.517463
(1 row)

regression=# set timezone = 'America/Indiana';
ERROR:  unrecognized time zone name: "America/Indiana"
regression=# select now()::timestamp;
server closed the connection unexpectedly
        This probably means the server terminated abnormally
        before or while processing the request.

Seems to work fine in the 7.4, 8.1, and HEAD branches ... but 8.0 is
busted.  Thanks for the report!
