The backtrace does not really help. I'm not sure what to do as this
looks like a glibc issue. On the other side there's #115566.
Reassign/reopen?
This little patch makes minicom crash instantly when started, when using
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 (or another utf8 locale).
Unfortunately creating a little test program which triggers this
assertion does not seem so easy.
This issue also puts the question whether it is good to display (serial)
input with the local locale or rather use "C"? Or something
configurable? A work around for this could also be to set the locale to
"C" when outputting input data.
Any opinions?
