And `(setlocale LC_ALL "does-not-exist")'?

It looks like setlocale(3) doesn't behave as specified by POSIX
(http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/setlocale.html).

It looks like `(nl-langinfo DAY_1)' doesn't DTRT per
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/langinfo.h.html .

Just to make sure, can you try this program (assume the `en_GB' locale
is available):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#include <langinfo.h>
#include <nl_types.h>
#include <locale.h>

#include <stdio.h>
#include <assert.h>


int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
  char *s;

  s = setlocale (LC_ALL, "C");
  assert (s != NULL);

  printf ("DAY_1: %s\n", nl_langinfo (DAY_1));

  s = setlocale (LC_ALL, "en_GB");
  assert (s != NULL);

  printf ("DAY_1: %s\n", nl_langinfo (DAY_1));

  return 0;
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This is actually the same problem.

Thanks,
