I actually created the cluster with:
test1:~# /usr/lib/postgresql/8.1/bin/initdb --pwprompt -D
/var/lib/postgresql/8.1/main/ --lc-collate=POSIX

test1:~# locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=

Not sure if it's going to make a difference. Thanks
