You didn't do it right then ...
7.2's initdb is not helpful about telling you exactly what locale
settings it's using, but you could use the contrib/pg_controldata
utility to check what LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE settings got used.
(If you don't want to build pg_controldata, "strings
$PGDATA/global/pg_control" will do as a rough-and-ready substitute.)
Theoretically it should work to do
export LC_COLLATE=C
export LC_CTYPE=C
initdb
but if you have LANG or other LC_xxx values in your environment,
it's possible that there is some conflict.
