BUG in date_part

[ Charset ISO-8859-1 unsupported, converting... ]

Hello,
I've discovered a bug in the date_part function. It returns 25 when
doing select date_part('day','2000-03-26'::date);
Anyway, this isn't happening if casting the date to timestamp
select date_part('day','2000-03-26'::timestamp);

It is fixed in current sources:

test=> select date_part('day','2000-03-26'::date);
date_part
-----------
26
(1 row)

Is 2000-03-26 a daylight savings changeover day where you live?
If so, this is a known bug that's fixed for 7.1. date_part is not
the problem, it's being handed a wrong timestamp input value ---
there's a DST boundary bug in the date-to-timestamp converter.
In my timezone 2000-04-02 was a changeover day, and 7.0.2 gives:

select '2000-04-02'::date::timestamp;
?column?
