It is correct. I fixed three of four problems. Foreign data test has
same problem with number ordering like three previous. However, I try to
fix it different way (casting to name datatype), but I hit some strange
behavior which needs detail examination.

You can find different problem in different locales. I think there is no
choice. Support all or only C. The headaches will be reduced when
collation per column will be develop.

I though add locale specific suffix instead of only number (e.g.
char_cs_CZ.out) could help to keep it under control. Or add subdirectory
for each locale.
