Details:
check_nofollow() uses locale-dependant function atof(3) to calculate kernel
version number.
Various locales have various decimal points, so check_nofollow() may fail to
calculate correct kernel version number.
For example, ru_RU.* locales use "," as decimal point.
As result, O_NOFOLLOW gets disabled e.g. on GNU/Linux when used with these
locales.
This could be fixed either by moving check_nofollow() call before
setlocale(3) call, or by changing kernel version parser to avoid locale
dependency.
