"character comparisons being case insensitive"? It is a problem in your
locale, not in the comparison code (I hope). There is no such thing as
"case-insensitive strcoll", and I just used strcoll in varlena.c.
The same problem popped up many times among linux users. Just install
correct locale - and all will run well. There are test programs in
src/test/locale, look carefully. If you can - supply test data for your
locale.
