Please, never do such things, reasons list:
1) 'More' limited to 8bit chars only, so setlocale here cause
it break all rune (16bit) chars. Supporting of 16bit chars
require total 'more' rewritting.
2) Support for 8bit chars already exists, but activates
differently: all you need to do
setenv ENABLE_STARTUP_LOCALE
Check /etc/sysconfig for more detailed example.
