Well actually it is conforming then, since POSIX indeed doesn't demand
support for any locales other than C/POSIX.

My testing back then was a bit flawed, and I had thought that dash
would support locales and that just the switching fails.
But AFAIU now, it simply doesn't support them at all, and always runs
in C.

Which is btw. also ok for my purposes ;-)


Thanks,
