I have appended the relevant parts of the modified cluster script. I haven't pointed out clear enough that I'm running this against a fresh database cluster, no vacuum, no other databases, no config changes, just initdb, postmaster startup and installcheck. I usually have [EMAIL PROTECTED] here but I get the same with locale C. Feel free to ask for more output. Oh, btw, its a regular 32bit box as well. Joachim
