Hi glibc maintainers!
I reassigned this bug to libc6, but I'm not sure whether the BTS
notifies you about this.
Thanks and have a nice day!

This is a ridiculouos exaggeration. "grave" means "makes the package
unusable for almost everybody", which is clearly not the case.
I adapted the severity to something sensible.

PostgreSQL uses the normal libc toupper()/tolower()/etc. functions (as
can be seen in src/backend/utils/adt/oracle_compat.c). Unfortunately
the libc functions do not support non-ASCII characters for now, so
this does not work throughout the system (besides, it is a hell of a
job to actually implement this since you need a mapping of probably
thousands of characters).
I reassign this bug to libc6.
Thanks for your report and have a nice day!
