It appears that newlocale(3) is broken. First, the manpage indicates that one needs to use #include <xlocale> which leads to troutmask:sgk[204] cc -o z r.c r.c:1:10: fatal error: 'xlocale' file not found #include <xlocale> ^ 1 error generated. next the manpage says STANDARDS This function conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 (``POSIX.1''). However, http://pubs.opengroup.org/stage7tc1/functions/newlocale.html says newlocale is declared in locale.h. Now consider % cat r.c #include <locale.h> int main(void) { locale_t a; a = newlocale(0, "C", 0); if (a) return 0; else return 1; } troutmask:sgk[206] cc -o z -static r.c && ./z Segmentation fault (core dumped) troutmask:sgk[206] cc -o z -static r.c && ./z Segmentation fault (core dumped) troutmask:sgk[207] gdb782 z z.core [New process 100313] Core was generated by `z'. Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. #0 0x0000000000415798 in newlocale () (gdb) bt #0 0x0000000000415798 in newlocale () #1 0x0000000000400434 in main () -- Steve
