Is the requirement that all threads be in the same locale ? Or
that the thread that calls strtod() not use setlocale() at all ?
Or maybe that setlocale() not be called by anyone after threads
are created ? Or even that setlocale() not be used AT ALL by the
process ?

It's not obvious to me which it is !

I think that a more specific wording would be useful.
