Summary: CURRENT_DATE problem

System Configuration
--------------------
  Operating System   : RedHat 5.1 alpha, linux 2.0.35

  PostgreSQL version : 6.3.2

  Compiler used      : Used rpm, don't know what compiler was used

Hardware:
---------
Alpha Mikasa, 128M RAM

Versions of other tools:
------------------------


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Problem Description:
--------------------
When I use "SELECT CURRENT_DATE" postgres returns 10-03-2135 - even if the current date on the
system is feb 1. 1999. (The backend is configured to use european
format on dates)

If I change the system-date, the CURRENT_DATE is changed accordingly, alway
49710 days off.

I've tried the same configuration on a redhat 5.1 intel-system, and
there it works fine. I've tried mailling on the admin-maillinglist
but didn't get any replies.

I know people have worked on this recently. Try upgrading to v6.4.2 and
if it still doesn't work then we'll find some patches which help.
