What character encoding is implied by those LC_ settings on your machine?
If it's different from the database encoding (here utf8) these things
won't actually work right.

Also, before PG 8.0 upper/lower simply don't work on multibyte characters,
which means you'd have to use a single-byte encoding to make it work
(I think koi8 is single-byte but not sure).
