		Wasn't this discussion anout the `junk pointer'
		error?  I'm seeing:

p2 15:21 <sage> [518] setenv LANG de_DE.ISO_8859-1
-zsh in free(): warning: junk pointer, too low to make sense.


		Okay, my mistake.  It's in free(), not realloc().
		This may be simply another zsh error on the x86
		platform.  This only happens once, tho.

		I'm using a non-English LANG in my locale work.
		Writing my own locale.c and localedef.c...
		((So far, FreeBSD is way ahead in its locale code.))
