Are there plans to fix setlocale() to give this a real effect in the
crunchgen'd environment? Or why do this at all?

If we had a version that wasn't space constrained, e.g."real" CD or network
boot, this would be nice.

Thanks,

No, you misunderstood: the crunched version works too, but by blindly ignoring
the locale settings - while currently the debug version does not work.

This change fixes the debug version, and is the right thing to do in the
future, and it is a no-op for the currently crunched version (which does not
have a real problem, because it is cheating).
