Right.  I think you may have missed the point of what Peter was saying:
it's okay to force the locale to C on the *client* side of the tests.
The trick is to not change the environment that the temp server is
started with.  This will take some redesign inside pg_regress, I think.
Probably initialize_environment needs to be split into two functions,
one that's run before firing off the temp server and one that runs
after.
