I don't agree. Usually I read the whole documentation of the software I
use, but you cannot presume that every user even with good sql skills
will check the documentation for a thing he wouldn't imagine.

With knowing the background it is understandable locale problem, but in
the user's point of view it's a weird and serious bug which shouldn't be
there. Using hu_HU with latin2 is a normal marrying.

Some users (including me) don't always read the "known issues" chapter,
even for a good quality software.
