If you were running with a non-C database locale, that was always
broken in 8.1, and you are very fortunate not to have stumbled across
any of the failure cases.

You can either standardize on UTF8 for all your databases (note that
this does not stop your *clients* from using LATIN2 if they want),
or use C locale which will work equally poorly with all encodings ;-)
