diff is against 3.51.06

Hi !!

I couldn't able to find any instance of code in the current 3.51 or 3.52 source trees which sets setlocate to "C". So, looks like you have somefiles which are not original.

FYI: The lines that you specified does have the locale to "ENGLISH" only.

Thanks

No, the patch is just reversed and you didnt read what I wrote.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been fixed in the latest
development tree for that product. You can find more information about

This bug is in fact still not fixed as of 3.51.11.  Dennis pointed to one instance of the Windows-ism "English" but there are three more.  Try grepping for 'setlocale.*English'...

The bug is of very long standing, it's in the 2.* branch too --- see
