I just found this problem with the age() function, which AFAIK should give the 
same resulte as a subtraction of the argument from now(), but it doesn't.


prueba=> SELECT (now() - tc.last_cron),age(tc.last_cron),tc.intervalo FROM 
tareas_cron tc ;
              ?column?               |              age              | intervalo
-------------------------------------+-------------------------------+-----------
 @ 1 day 15 hours 13 mins 12.06 secs | @ 23 hours 59 mins 58.47 secs | @ 1 day
 @ 15 hours 13 mins 12.06 secs       | @ 1.52 secs ago               | @ 30 mins
 @ 15 hours 13 mins 12.08 secs       | @ 1.50 secs ago               | @ 10 mins

prueba=> SELECT version();
                                        version
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 PostgreSQL 8.1.3 on i486-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC cc (GCC) 4.0.3 (Debian 
4.0.3-1)

Any ideas on why?

I starting to change my queries so they don't have the age() function anymore.
