reopen 351786 thanks Hi,
this bug cannot be reproduced because I worked around it and modified the French locale. But you can try with other locales, for instance: $ LC_ALL=cs_CZ.UTF-8 ./a.out | od -c 0000000 c o u t n o l o c a l e : 0000020 1 0 2 4 \n c o u t w i t h 0000040 l o c a l e : 1 302 0 2 4 \n 0000057 Here 302 is the first byte of 0xA0 (no-break-space) in UTF-8: $ LC_ALL=cs_CZ.UTF-8 locale mon_thousands_sep | od -c 0000000 302 240 \n 0000003 Denis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
