Heikki, Thank you for your detailed analysis and response. I might play with the linker options - right now I am using the default "./configure ; make install" procedure and letting everything happen automatically.
Another thought that I had was to wrap our use of "initdb" with a script that sets the LANG=C beforehand ... since we are using "--no-locale" option anyway it seems maybe unnecessary to honor the user's locale.

This doesn't look like a Postgres bug, I was able to reproduce this with the attached test program. It seems to depend heavily on the linker options used, this is the minimum set I was able to reduce it to. I think you'll have to pick it up from here with the HP compiler/ operating system guys.. -- Heikki Linnakangas EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
