Or was the code incorrectly used?
Hard for me to say, but I think its about caller context. The way I am using it
might be different ... hey the function was static ... copy paster be warned!
The code appears to be doing the same thing as the backend (with the exclusion

I am trying to add support for timestamps in our proposed libpq PGparam patch.
I ran into something I don't really understand. I wasn't sure if it was my
libpq code that was wrong (converts a binary timestamp into a time_t or struct
tm) so I tried it from psql.

Not quite. Using WITHOUT TIME ZONE means to not store any time zone
information. It

No, I think you are more confused now than you were before.
For both types, the underlying stored value is
got it. stored vs. displyed was confusing me.
