Ufff..... I completely reinstalled Leopard (cause was a bit messy,
meanwhile). And thought: Hey, now it should be any problem anymore....
But oups....  it did it again. Gush!

So, looked around again on the net and found this message:
I found this referenced under bug #1344: locale problem The problem
appears to be in going from Linux 2.6.9-5.0.5 to 2.6.9-11 the default
LANG environment variable changed from LANG=en_US.UTF-8 to
LANG=english_us.8859. Error could be identified by typing locale at
the opsys prompt. I fixed by adding to posgres .bash_profile:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8; export LANG
(http://www.mail-archive.com/pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org/msg12073.html)
Also mentioned Linux, it seems to be the same problem with Mac...
Putting the LANG... into the .bash_profile settled the problem.
Hope this helps!
