I was thinking of an explicit setlocale() >inside all system utilities (except daemons) that use <ctype.h>. 1) Too match sources will be changed cause troubles with patches and upgrades. 2) It can be called twice, since first time call comes from crt0. 3) It is useful only for <=8bit locales, so you can't call setlocale, multichars becomes damaged, you need to call reduced to 8bit setlocale version as done in crt0. 4) Using non-standard (non-POSIX/ANSI/etc) reduced setlocale in all sources cause portability problems. -- Andrey A.
