Hmm. I think you could change LC_CTYPE by just hacking the control file.
LC_COLLATE would require the reindexing. Perhaps you could hack that as
well, and then manually run REINDEX on all databases.

Did you confirm what the problem in your case really was? As Greg
pointed out, the example query you posted was in fact flawed..

BTW, 8.3 is more strict on this, and won't allow you to initdb a cluster
with mismatching locale and encoding.
