Symptoms

On Linux, the normalized link text (ELINK_INDEX.LINK_TEXT_NORMAL) is unreadable text / set of characters that are not normalized link text.

Defect Status

Issue 16384-19330 / VYG-1174 is resolved for Voyager 8.2.0 and higher.

Replication Steps

1. Run this sql query on a database that has elinks, and that is running RHEL:
select link_text
, link_text_normal
from elink_index;
2. Note that link_text_normal is not a normalization of link_text, but is instead an assortment of unreadable characters.
3. If copy & search using the unreadable characters, records are retrieved.
