Thanks!

pg_dump -C tells me these two differences:

-SET client_encoding = 'SQL_ASCII';
+SET client_encoding = 'UTF8';

-CREATE DATABASE dbm WITH TEMPLATE = template0 ENCODING = 'SQL_ASCII' LC_COLLATE = 'C' LC_CTYPE = 'C';
+CREATE DATABASE dbm WITH TEMPLATE = template0 ENCODING = 'UTF8' LC_COLLATE = 'C' LC_CTYPE = 'en_US.UTF-8';

for every db in the clusters.

I presume that lc_ctype is the significant difference?

LC_CTYPE *is* specified as 'C' in the dump from which I created the 9.2
cluster, so it must have been overridden by pg_restore. I see that my
dist's /etc rc script now sets LC_CTYPE. Would that explain why lc_ctype
changed between the two clusters?

Is there any way to alter a db's lc_ctype w/o dumping and restoring? I
want to preserve some of the changes made since I copied the 9.1 cluster.
Alter database reports that lc_ctype cannot be changed.
