I added to the startup file:

LANG=C
LC_CTYPE=C
LC_NUMERIC=C
LC_TIME=C
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY=C
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_ALL=C

as well as to the postgres users default environment. I then shut down
postmaster, and as user postgres ran `initdb /var/lib/pgsql`. I then ran
/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgres start as root, and then as user postgres ran
`createdb mytest`.

After this, my create test and select still produced the same error. Ugh.

Cheers,

Alex
