Thanks to Tom Lane!
But I have This in my pg_control file:

# od -c pg_control
0000000 \0 \0 \0 \0 001 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \b \0 \0 \0
0000020 ¤ 006 004 < 004 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 002 \0
0000040 ± Õ ë \v \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0
0000060 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0
*
0020000
#

So no LC_COLLATE and LC_TYPE in the pg_control. But these variables are set in
the user environement!
