Yes, you are right.  I didn't notice the situation that locale might
be changed dynamically.  We need to save current locale to adapt to
the situation.

It seems difficult to save the current locale outside of the cat*(3)
without race condition.  We need to handle it inside of the cat*(3).
Perhaps, your approach is correct.

Sincerely,
