>Description:
/usr/share/locale/ASCII and /usr/share/locale/US-ASCII are symlinked to
lt_LN.ASCII. Thus, having one of these locales set, one gets *Latin*
months names etc. I don't think it's ``intuitively correct''. :-)

>Fix:
I don't know precisely what ASCII and US-ASCII should be symlinked to,
but my educated guess is it should be en_US.ISO_8859-1.
Hence, the file /usr/src/etc/locale.alias should be
ASCII en_US.ISO_8859-1
US-ASCII en_US.ISO_8859-1
