Can you turn off --enable-locale or set locale to C and try again? I
guess upper() does bad thing in that it thinks the letter is Polish
but actually it is unicode(UTF-8).

I have encountered some problems while trying to create a database that
would use the Polish locale.
After compiling with --enable-multibyte --enable-locale
--enable-unicode-conversion, I initdb-ed postgres with -E UNICODE and
started the database (the correct locale was set - pl_PL).

However, upon connecting to psql, using \encoding LATIN2 (as suggested by
the iso8859-2 locale) and doing a test :
SELECT upper('acelnoszx'); (these are Polish national chars (0x81 etc.),
not the ASCII
ones), I keep getting the message:

utf_to_latin: could not convert UTF-8 (0xc3a3) ignored
(repeated 3x for different chars).

The letters are not converted to uppercase, either.

When using LATIN2 at initdb it works fine (Unfortunately I need an UTF-8
database for the i18n issues with Tcl8.x), so Unicode support is a must.

Any hints? (That was tried with PG7.1RC1 and Beta 5)
