Thanks for the suggestion, Michael, but it didn't help here. Perhaps I
should try changing the locale setting to en_US.utf8.

I've not encountered this issue before. When I listed existing databases
(including the three I dropped yesterday as legacies of applications that
didn't make the grade), I saw that two (created by sql-ledger and me are
encoded LATIN1, the three encoded by the former apps were US_ASCII, and the
four owned by postgres (including the templates) are encoded UTF8.
