Ok, I would be lying if I said I understand what just happened. Out of frustration, I uninstalled sphinx, and the thinking sphinx gem, downloaded the source for sphinx again and recompiled it (it was the same version), and re installed sphinx gem (also the same version). I copied the same configuration file. Now, it is working as it should, and character folding is working just fine.
I really don't know why it wasn't working previously, and why it just decided to work again, but I'm glad that it did, I'll try to investigate again to try and locate the difference that caused it to work again. Pat, I'm truly thankful for your efforts to troubleshoot my problem. Sorry to have wasted your time.
