See the thread starting at

Bottom line is that strcoll() is broken in glibc versions before 2.2.3.
If you are running a Postgres installation with locale support compiled
in, then you are vulnerable to this bug.

This may or may not explain your particular problem, of course, but
it's a good thing to check before digging further.
