This is not a PostgreSQL issue, but a locale issue that was introduced by Red
Hat implementing 'correct' locale collation. PostgreSQL has to rely on the
system's C library for the string comparison/collation routines -- and those
routines are greatly changed by the locale setting.

Red Hat does not view this behavior as buggy.

Trond, I didn't know whether you are subscribed to the BUGS list or not, so I
am CC'ing you on this. The two collations:

example
new version:
BOU MOUSLEH
BOUSTANI
BOU YAZBEK

old version
BOU MOUSLEH
BOU YAZBECK
BOUSTANI

This appears to me to be wrong, Trond. Red Hat 7.1 out of the box
installation.

Rony, in the normal usage of these names, what would the correct collation be?
