Author BUG #2024: Wrong Greek ISO-encoding assignment

The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference: 2024
Logged by: Nikolaos Papageorgiou
Email address: nikchem@tellas.gr
PostgreSQL version: 8.1.0.1
Operating system: Windows 2000 Professional & XP Pro
Description: Wrong Greek ISO-encoding assignment
Details:

Dear Sirs,

I have been using your marvellous product for sometime now and I have come
across a rather unusual bug.

It is supposed that Greek ISO-encoding is ISO-8859-7.
For some unknown reason from version 8.1 it is encoded as ISO-8859-6 which
is normally used by Arabic language and ISO-8859-7 produces Hebrew. It is
probably a one codepage shift left.

Please correct it or let me know what is really happening

Sincerely yours,
Nikolaos A. Papageorgiou

I think it gets the encoding from the XP system settings.
