We have noticed that in the ecpg version for postgres 7.4.8, that the
timezone associated with current_timestamp was UTC. We recently
upgraded to postgres Version 8.2.6 and notice that the timezone
associated with current_timestamp is the local time zone.

How do we set the time zone for current_timestamp to be UTC?
