Hi Ralf:

I have failed to fix my dev system so far. But I did look around
a bit more in mysql land.

It looks like we support using ~/.my.cnf to set default character sets
using .my.cnf defined using [rdbms] read_default_file. Do you know of
the top of your head if the config.ini setting for default charset
takes effect or if the ~/.my.cnf file takes effect?

Also do you have one of these? That may explain why you were seeing an
issue but nothing in CI was seeing it.

Also Joseph and Ralf, does
https://issues.roundup-tracker.org/issue1194126 still apply?

Yeah, still trying to get things to play well here.
