Michael, do you use chars which >= 128 ?
If yes and you havn't USE_LOCALE defined that problems
with text-field come from nbtcompare.c:bttextcmp() - it uses
char *ap, *bp;
^^^^
(it was changed from unsigned near 20 May)
while text funcs in varlena.c use unsigned char: UNSIGNED_CHAR_TEXT
is defined. (It's big inconvenience that btree in one cases use
funcs from nbtcompare.c and in other cases - from utils/adt/*.c)
Do you remember bug with btree and AbsoluteTime - the same cause!
I hope that my assumption is right and we may have good dreams
with cleaned btree...
But what should we use - signed or unsigned chars in both places
if USE_LOCALE is not defined ?
We must clean this code before 6.1! It's easy.
