Re: LC_COLLATE=C not working

pg_controldata $PGDATA says LC_COLLATE=C
pg_controldata $PGDATA/data says LC_COLLATE=en_US.iso885915

Perhaps this is a related problem. When I run dbinit, it puts a bunch of
configuration stuff in $PGDATA. When I start the postmaster, it tells me it
is initializing the database and creates $PGDATA/data and puts the same
configuration stuff there. I have no idea why it creates two sets of
configuration data. I don't see this on my test server, just on my
production server. My guess is that when it initializes the database when
the postmaster starts, that it isn't getting the LC_COLLATE setting.
