Hm. If the database is already corrupt then simply recompiling
a corrected binary isn't going to magically make things perfect.
Maybe you should retry the snprintf patch and/or --enable-multibyte
using fresh databases.

In that case you don't really need locale, no. Not sure about
whether you need multibyte; does JDBC expect Unicode support?
