+NOTICE: Unrecognized variable client_encoding
+ </ProgramListing>
+ This isn't an error; in fact, it's quite harmless. You'll see this
+ message at startup if you use a client compiled with MULTIBYTE support
+ to connect to a server compiled without it. (The client is trying
+ to tell the server what character set encoding it wants, but the
+ server has no idea what it's talking about.) If the message bothers
+ you, use a client compiled with the same options as the server.
