Character collating order

I'm having problems with the regression tests.  In particular, the CHAR test fails because of an unexpected character
collatingsequence: 

test=> select 'a' < 'A' AS "Lowercase is low", 'a' > 'A' AS "Uppercase is low";
 Lowercase is low | Uppercase is low
------------------+------------------
 t                | f
(1 row)

The test scripts seems to expect that 'A' < 'a', which is not a completely unreasonable assumption :-)

I'm using the SQL_ASCII encoding, and un-setting the LANG environment variable (which is the only locale variable set
forthe account; it defaults to en_US) for postgres when starting postmaster does not fix it. 

Any suggestions on what I could try?
