After installation of 2.2R, I noticed some locale problem.
It is about locales in C and X11...
The following output is on my machine(2.2, PPro, 64M)
---
moderato:~% env LANG=C perl
^D
moderato:~% env LANG=fr_FR.ISO_8859-1 perl
^D
moderato:~% env LANG=ko_KR.EUC perl

Is it not supporting EUC locales? ko_KR.EUC and ja_JP.EUC is EUC-based,
other locales not.
in X11, the similar problem occurred:
---
moderato:~% env LANG=C xterm
^C
moderato:~% env LANG=fr_FR.ISO_8859-1 xterm
^C
moderato:~% env LANG=ja_JP.EUC xterm
Warning: locale not supported by C library, locale unchanged
^C
moderato:~% env LANG=ko_KR.EUC xterm
Warning: locale not supported by C library, locale unchanged
^C
moderato:~% env LANG=ru_SU.KOI8-R xterm
^C

Of course, recompiling X11 with -DX_LOCALE shows no warning message
about EUC locales(some of locale routine is built-in in Xlib), but
original distrubition didn't...
in setlocale(3) manpage, the following thing is written:
---
BUGS
The current implementation supports only the "C" and "POSIX" locales for
all but the LC_COLLATE, LC_CTYPE, and LC_TIME categories.
---
I think it means FreeBSD is supporting EUC locales LC_COLLATE, LC_CTYPE,
and LC_CTIME... is there a way to fix it? I am developing some locale-
dependent program(in X11), so it is important to do this...
