   I tried this at my clean RH5.0 machine at work, with the RH5.0 rpm
   installation of Postgres. It didn't help, and I guess I would have been
   suprised if it did since the locale environment should have defaulted to
   the "C" (same as "POSIX"?) conventions. I didn't get a backend crash,
   just the usual symptom.
   
   Didn't find a new Postgres package in Cristian's directory when I looked
   this morning, but _did_ find a glibc2.0.7-2. Unfortunately it didn't seem
   to fix the rounding problem in date/time. I stopped and restarted the
   Postgres backend, but did not reboot the machine; was that sufficient?
   Seems like 2.0.7-2 should have the features (and fixes) Oliver reported
   for Debian, so don't know the story :(
   
   My little test program, which also fails on my RH4.2 system, is included
   below. It should return some characters related to locale; in this
   version it tries the numeric decimal point (which does print) and the
   money decimal point, which doesn't. Used to work, though as I mentioned
   the code as it is currently may be damaged by my trial and error attempts
   to get locale support working.

   I've put the packages on ftp://ftp.redhat.com/home/gafton/pgsql. For the
   beta 6.3 I have put the regression test results too, so anybody can take a
   look at them and comment.
   
   Please take a look at the packages and tell me if there is something
   missing from them (that is, things not installed by default by 'make
   install' that ought to be included in a binary package though...
   
   Best wishes,
