Too much money...: more i18n blues

The regression test for int8 fails on my system because it does not expect the currency symbol in

test=> select to_char(123, 'L999');
to_char
---------
$ 123
(1 row)

I'm not sure what the problem is. The server is started with LANG="en_US" and all other locale parameters unset (AFAICT). This is the default
from the RPM startup script, so I don't know what the problem is.

1. Should there be a '$' sign in the en_US language (I guess so?)
2. I have tried to unset the LANG variable in the startup script, and I still get the same output. Is this the "right" place to set LANG for the
postmaster application?
3. Is the regression script crazy? ;-)

Help!?
