Heh, disclaimer: I didn't know that when coining the name, but
found out afterwards.

Done.  Points:

1) My old problem is resolved, as expected.

2) In your patch, you strstr for utf8 or UTF8.  In my Fedora
system, $LANG is en_US.UTF-8.  In this case the first condition
(nl_langinfo) triggers and no but is shown.

3) I see a very bad behavior from the CVS version.  I'm attaching
an script(1) output.  The best way to see what's going on, you
can open a terminal and cat the file.  Then scroll back to see
what I did.
