Our customer reported a problem resulting from the hard drive failure.
Database server would not start, generating this message:
PANIC: The database cluster was initialized with LC_COLLATE
'en_US.ISO8859-1',
which is not recognized by setlocale().
It looks like you need to initdb.

They are running v.7.3.2 on Solaris, where all locale parameters are set
to "C".
Is there anything we can do to restore the database without data loss?

Thank you,
Michael.
