I've got a postgresql 9.3.2 server, compiled from scratch. Getting this error:

  array_to_json

------------------

 ["\"a\"=>\"b\""]

(1 row)

(I expected  [{"a": "b"}] )

I don't get this on other postgresql installations. Any ideas?

ALTER EXTENSION hstore UPDATE; fixed the problem. (thanks oicu!)
