Good.  I didn't see any difference -- but maybe that's because I went
cross-eyed.... :-)

Possibly.  If pg_regress uses a different port for postmaster, AND a
different PGDATA, you could run regression on a sandbox while a
production system was running, FWIW.  Since that's more of an RPM issue
than a core issue, I can do that third mode work, as I would be the
direct benefactor (unless someone else does it first, of course).

Both the locale and non-locale installation were from RPM, BTW, as I
wanted the least number of variables possible.
