I extended my test program to be able to check locales using ISO-8859-x
encodings.  RHEL6 shows me failures in a set of locales that is remarkably
unlike the set it fails on for UTF8 (though good ol de_DE manages to fail
in both encodings, as do a few others).  I'm not sure what that implies
for the underlying bug(s).

TBH, I think #1 is right out, unless maybe the GUC defaults to off.
We aren't that cavalier with data consistency in other departments.

#2 and #3 presume a level of knowledge of the bug details that we
have not got, and probably can't get by Monday.

As far as #4 goes, we're going to have to tell people to REINDEX
no matter what the other aspects of the fix look like.  On-disk
indexes are broken right now, if you're using one of the affected
locales.
