Package: postgresql-8.3
Severity: normal

When using 8-bit locales such as ISO-8859-1, the behavoiur of ILIKE is 
errounious.
If you use a query of the form

SELECT * FROM a WHERE name ILIKE '%<string>%'

Where <string> starts with a character in the interval 0x80 - 0xFF (ie. 
accented character),
the query doesn't match records as expected.

This bug has also been submitted by another Postgresql user here:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.postgresql.bugs/16360

Since this bug causes search results in applications using Postgresql to
miss search results, I have choosen to mark it "critical".

There is also a patch submitted on the linked page
