Says setlocale(), at least on the Fedora machine I just checked.
The reason I see this:
$ initdb --locale=POSIX
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "tgl".
This user must also own the server process.
The database cluster will be initialized with locale "C".
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to "SQL_ASCII".
The default text search configuration will be set to "english".
is that setlocale is returning "C" as the canonical name of the locale.
