blah blah set client_encoding segfault
[sent this a few days ago, must have gotten lost in "moderation" because
of the original subject]
With the latest master branch:
initdb -D somewhere --locale=C --encoding=LATIN1
Then in psql:
set client_encoding to utf8;
causes a segfault in the backend. The backtrace:

Looks like the conversion table is accessed before it's initialized.
