strcoll and strxfrm do not always agree in -CURRENT

Hi,
The PostgreSQL hackers wrote a test program to study a collation bug
on another operating system. The test generates random strings and
checks if strxfrm and strcoll agree on their ordering, according to
each collation available on the system. I decided to try it out on
FreeBSD and found that it passes on 10.2, but fails miserably on
11.0-CURRENT.
The test program is here:

I had to increase MAXXFRMLEN to (MAXSTRLEN * 10) for it to work.
Thanks!
