I would really appreciate a comment from Tim outlining his opinion (so I'm adding him to the To: list). Just to recapitulate, the patch Gustavo has posted doesn't use the thread-safe glibc functions, which means that we won't be safe from runtime locale switching. I suppose I should also point out that runtime locale switching is useful in certain obscure situations; for instance, formatting a number with periods grouping the thousands can be done by setting to the da_DK locale temporarily. Whether this hack is to be encouraged or shelved for something better is yet unknown to me, though. Take care, -- Christian Robottom Reis | http://async.com.br/~kiko/ | [+55 16] 261 2331
