[Fwd: Re: regression failures on WIndows in machines with some non-English locales]

This has refreshed my fading memory. The patch seems like the best
solution. Is there any objection to applying it?

(Petr, I assume you intended to send this to a mailing list also)

cheers

BTW Tom you should know it's not really failure it's just different
sorting of output in rules test (due to "ch" being one letter in my locale).

When I suggested --no-locale for regression test I ment something like
whats in attachement - this will not change current functionality just
adds option to set NO_LOCALE=something in make check commandline which
would enable me to setup buildfarm member (after patching buildfarm
client, I think it should be option which is off by default there too).

I want this aproach because forcing --no-locale for everybody could mean
that we won't find some errors - good example of this is "force C
locale for temp regression installations" thread
(http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2005-08/msg00352.php)
where we discussed it, you both might remmeber it.
