 '''SO''': Centos 5.5

 '''system locale''': en-US.UTF-8

 '''locale from serverconfig.ini''': empty (from comment should default to
 system locale)

 provider: OGRProvider with libgdal rebuilt with Postgresql support.
 viewer: plain Ajax

 '''PostgreSQL locale''': UTF-8

 I have a layer which stylization involves a rule that check if a field is
 equals to a string containing a 'à'

 Obtained results:

 - that rule fails

 - every time that the rule is evaluated one apache thread dies with
 this message in the error_log:

 terminate called after throwing an instance of
 'MgInvalidArgumentException'

 [notice] child pid 32615 exit signal Aborted (6)

 (no messages on server Error.log even if loglevel is 3 on all
 services, and also this is not so good)

 - Changing the rule to plain 'a' does not solve the error, thus the
 problem is in fetching the data from the db

 - Changing the rule to plain 'a' and changing the row in the db does
 solve the error (layer is correctly stylized and no more messages in
 the error_log)

 Reverting back to 'à' both in the db and in the rules and setting
 "locale = en-US.UTF-8" in serverconfig.ini does solve the problem.

 Thus I suppose that mapguide is using an incorrect locale (maybe
 ISO8859-1 instead of UTF-8) and complains about finding invalid
 characters.
 This is a regression, since with Mapguide 2.1 (compiled on Debian) and the
 same data all works correctly.
