I'm afraid that UTF-8 problem. We just committed in CVS HEAD multibyte support
for tsearch2, so you can try it.

Pls, notice, the dict, aff stopword files should be in server encoding. Snowball
sources for german (and other) in UTF8 can be founded in
http://snowball.tartarus.org/dist/libstemmer_c.tgz

To all: May be, we should put all snowball's stemmers (for all available
languages and encodings) to tsearch2 directory?
