This probably is because you have a different collation set on the redhat
box. If you are using something other than "C" locale, the ordering on the
redhat box seems reasonable given that most locales ignore spaces for
their first pass, so 'TELHAO' < 'TELHA P' for example. If you want byte
ordering sorting, you can initdb in "C" locale.
