Thierry,
Please post the output of
$ psql -l
for the database in question for both the 32-bit and 64-bit servers. That will show what encoding was specified when
thedatabases where created.
Also, post the output of
$ psql <dbname here> <login> -c “show client_encoding”
$ psql <dbname here> <login> -c "show all" | grep lc_
s'il vous plaît. Also check if any code is setting client_encoding or any of the lc_* options on the fly.
