The problem is doing this:

  oldloc = setlocale (LC_ALL, NULL);
  setlocale (LC_ALL, "");
  ...
  setlocale (LC_ALL, oldloc);

I.e., the second setlocale call frees 'oldloc'.

>From http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/setlocale.html :

 "The returned string pointer might be invalidated or the string
 content might be overwritten by a subsequent call to setlocale()."
