setlocale


Uli,
OpenGroups online Manual states for setlocale:

   Upon successful completion, setlocale() returns the string
   associated with the specified category for the new locale.

Yet with 2.1.1 (didn't have time yet to compile and test 2.1.2) even
multiple setlocale("",LC_*) calls with the same category always return
a null pointer. LANG is set to de_DE.ISO8859-1.

Because of the null pointer, quite a few programs (elm being one of
them) report missing locale support.

Now who's to blame ?
