* timezone/zdump.c (main): setlocale LC_CTYPE as well as LC_MESSAGES. * timezone/zic.c (main): Likewise.

It would be nice if that would be included upstream.

OK, here's a patch suitable for inclusion in the tz sources, which I'm sending to the tz list. The problem here is that one can't reliably set parts of a locale without setting them consistently; otherwise the behavior is undefined, and on some hosts things go very badly. The problem here is with LC_CTYPE, but it could occur in other locale components. The simplest fix is to use LC_ALL, which sets everything consistently. =================================================================== RCS file: RCS/date.c,v retrieving revision 2001.4.0.1 retrieving revision 2001.4.0.2 diff -pu -r2001.4.0.1 -r2001.4.0.2 --- date.c 2004/06/15 05:53:49 2001.4.0.1 +++ date.c 2004/07/29 22:50:01 2001.4.0.2 @@ -117,13 +117,12 @@ char * argv[]; INITIALIZE(adjust); INITIALIZE(t); #if HAVE_GETTEXT - 0 - (void) setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, ""); + (void) setlocale(LC_ALL, ""); #ifdef TZ_DOMAINDIR (void) bindtextdomain(TZ_DOMAIN, TZ_DOMAINDIR); #endif /* defined(TEXTDOMAINDIR) */ (void) textdomain(TZ_DOMAIN); #endif /* HAVE_GETTEXT - 0 */ - (void) setlocale(LC_TIME, ""); (void) time(&now); format = value = NULL; while ((ch = getopt(argc, argv, "ucnd:t:a:")) != EOF && ch != -1) { =================================================================== RCS file: RCS/zdump.c,v retrieving revision 2004.2.0.1 retrieving revision 2004.2.0.2 diff -pu -r2004.2.0.1 -r2004.2.0.2 --- zdump.c 2004/07/20 23:27:39 2004.2.0.1 +++ zdump.c 2004/07/29 22:50:01 2004.2.0.2 @@ -184,7 +184,7 @@ char * argv[]; struct tm * newtm; #if HAVE_GETTEXT - 0 - (void) setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, ""); + (void) setlocale(LC_ALL, ""); #ifdef TZ_DOMAINDIR (void) bindtextdomain(TZ_DOMAIN, TZ_DOMAINDIR); #endif /* defined(TEXTDOMAINDIR) */ =================================================================== RCS file: RCS/zic.c,v retrieving revision 2004.1 retrieving revision 2004.1.0.1 diff -pu -r2004.1 -r2004.1.0.1 --- zic.c 2004/03/02 15:54:30 2004.1 +++ zic.c 2004/07/29 22:50:01 2004.1.0.1 @@ -467,7 +467,7 @@ char * argv[]; (void) umask(umask(S_IWGRP | S_IWOTH) | (S_IWGRP | S_IWOTH)); #endif /* defined unix */ #if HAVE_GETTEXT - 0 - (void) setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, ""); + (void) setlocale(LC_ALL, ""); #ifdef TZ_DOMAINDIR (void) bindtextdomain(TZ_DOMAIN, TZ_DOMAINDIR); #endif /* defined TEXTDOMAINDIR */
