Well, it was set to Japan_Japanese (or something similiar to that). I am
running it on a Japanese system. So, I created a new database cluster
with initdb (after struggling with runas.exe under Windows) withe a
locale of "C". I then restored my DB and it worked fine.

I find it strange that it won't search Japanese strings with a locale of
Japanese... which it defaulted to doing during the Win32 Installer.
Anyways, it would be nice to have it as an option or something. If it is
there and I didn't see it.. sorry in advance!
