+    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.
