I recompiled PHP with UTF-8 internal encoding. So no transcoding is performed.

It might be the case, I agree. Could it be a problem of surface (UCS-2
characters embedded in UTF-8)? PostgreSQL 7.3 should accept more UTF-8
characters anyway as I can display all Japanese characters. Many users may
have the same problem. So why filter?

Again, Ithe problem might also come from pg_dump. The database has French and
Dutch content. There are also errors in the Dutch file... Is there a way to
perform some testing?
