Peter lodged what I think was an objection:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2003-04/msg00727.php
but he didn't address anything but the speed issue. What we are seeing
is that on several platforms, the default locale settings are just plain
broken --- ie, setlocale() barfs on the locale value that the system
environment provides. There was discussion before about this, but
IIRC we concluded that initdb could not easily detect the problem.
On balance I think we should default to C locale rather than whatever
random junk is in initdb's environment. Perhaps "initdb --use-locale"
should be required to get the current behavior?
