I tried with postgresql-8.2-507.jdbc3.jar, and it works like a charm! Not only that, but the getTimestamp() too! I was starting to question my night sleep quality, read old lenghty articles about java dates/timezones etc!! Thank you a lot! I didnt know jdbc newer versions were backward compatible with older servers.

Just a comment:
Why not merge from current changes/bugfixes to the JDBC? I mean 7.4 is old ok, but *officially supported* also!
