default value in varchar column in 1.3.82-dev

Hi

When I try to change the default value (after the table is created) of a
varchar column to ffffff - without quotes I get the following error:
"Run-time error '-2147467259 (80004005)'
ERROR: Attribute 'ffffff' not found.

And PgAdmin closes itself down :(

But if I quote the value 'ffffff' it works fine.

Shouldn't varchar columns automatically be quoted?

I'm using PostgreSQL 7.3 beta2

PS: having the ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN function is great! :))
