I checked with show all, client and server encoding remained latin2, and
lc_ctype remained hu_HU. However, the lower function got corrupted
(encoding) until the end of the session.

I can reproduce the bug on an Debian Sarge and on a Gentoo. Both are
up-to-date.

What should I do? Subscribe to perl list and tell about this? I have to
write a trigger which can't be written well in plpgsql. My options are
to learn python or tcl on basic level in one day. I am not sure I want
and can do this.
