Re: [HACKERS] Locale support broken in latest snapshots

Oleg Bartunov gave me the advice to rerun initdb -E KOI8...

And - oops - this helped. Locale test for koi8 locale passed.

It is strange - I did fresh and clean install into empty directory, and
of course I did initdb -E. Locale tests failed. But stopping postmaster,
removing data directory, running initdb -E and restarting postmaster
helped...
