In message <9111072119.AA20993@postgres.Berkeley.EDU> you write:

> I was able to retrieve the tuples you describe by specifying the epoch
> date explicitly:
> 
>   retrieve (repair.all) where repair.date = "Dec 31 16:00:00 1901 PDT"::abstime

the expression

	retrieve (repair.all) where repair.date = "epoch"::abstime

is exactly equivalent, and is independent of the timezone in which you
find yourself.
