Description: DST Time Zone Bug related to: select now() at time
zone 'EST'
Details:
I have recently noticed a problem since the Daylight savings time change
(past 1-2 days).
The following query returns the time from an hour ago (I'm in EST, but I
need to be able to handle other time zones):
select now() at time zone 'EST'
or select now() at time zone 'CST'
This query returns the correct time for EST:
select now()

I see no bug here. We're in daylight saving time now, so the zone is
EDT not EST. IOW, if it's currently 10:10 EDT, it is also a true
statement that it's 9:10 EST.
