Depends on your timezone:
SET TimeZone TO 'US/Eastern';
SELECT '1901/12/14 1:00'::abstime;
abstime
------------------------
1901-12-14 01:00:00-05
(1 row)
SET TimeZone TO 'Asia/Hong_Kong';
SELECT '1901/12/14 1:00'::abstime;
abstime
------------------------
2038-01-19 07:51:40+08
(1 row)
I'd guess this is due to the 32-bitness of abstime. Those timestamps
are around the min and max values of a 32-bit timestamp based on the
traditional Unix epoch.
