Nothing is broken, all works as specified ;) As I said, we migh look into it, but AFAIK this would mean we either modify the current locale (really nasty) or create a pseudo-locale with the user setting (just nasty). Unless someone has better idea or understanding of the POSIX locales. Either way, I'd feel we would be the only UNIX system doing this (does OSX do it too?). Ideas welcome. Br, --jakub
