It occurs to me that there *is* a system-specific component to the amount of WAL emitted during initdb: the number of locales that "locale -a" prints translates directly to the number of rows inserted into pg_collation. So maybe skimmer has a locale set that's a bit different from anybody else's, and that's what let it see this issue. regards, tom lane
