[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #37928] GUI crashes with french locale

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #27, bug #37928 (project octave):

There's something really, really wrong.  The sprintf test shows that you are
not in the "C" locale.  I just don't know how that is happening.

For example, If I set my language and run Octave with


setenv LANG fr_FR.utf-8
./run-octave


then 


sprintf ("%4f\n", e)
ans = 2.718282


So the 'C' locale has been properly set for LC_NUMERIC.  However, I can check
that the rest of the language settings are still operating in the French
locale.  If I look at the "Current Directory" window then the column headers
are "Nom" and "Derniere modification".  The date stamp on the files is also
correct for the French locale (DD/MM/YY as opposed to MM/DD/YY).

I suppose there is the slight chance of a race condition.  There is a warning
message generated by KDE in bug report #38305 which maybe alludes to this.

Basically, though, I'm out of ideas.
