Postgres 8.3.6: base_test: test_quote fails due to not quoting escape characters

<"\ \001 ' \n \n ""> expected but was <" \001 ' \n \n "">.

edge rails... gem: postgres (0.7.9.2008.01.28) PostgreSQL 8.3.6 ubuntu 8.04

I have the DBs 'activerecord_unittest' and 'activerecord_unittest2' created in a UTF8 database in PostgreSQL. The 'rails' user has superuser rights to the DBs.

ActiveRecord::Base.configurations = { 'arunit' => {

 :adapter  => 'postgresql',
 :username => 'rails',
 :password => 'rails',
 :database => 'activerecord_unittest',
 :min_messages => 'warning',
 :encoding => 'unicode',
 :host =>  'localhost'

}, 'arunit2' => {

 :adapter  => 'postgresql',
 :username => 'rails',
 :password => 'rails',
 :database => 'activerecord_unittest2',
 :min_messages => 'warning',
 :encoding => 'unicode',
 :host =>  'localhost'

} }

I have tried setting the encoding to utf8 with the same results.
