Looks like cash_words is fixed in current CVS, so I guess in 7.2.1:
Welcome to psql 7.3devel, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
Type: \copyright for distribution terms
\h for help with SQL commands
\? for help on internal slash commands
\g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
\q to quit
test=> select cash_words('-700000000000000000000000000000');
cash_words
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Minus twenty one million four hundred seventy four thousand eight
hundred thirty six dollars and forty eight cents
(1 row)
Looks like cash_out still bombs:
test=> select cash_out(2);
server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.
