My patch was intended to adapt the tests to the existing Windows behavior. Yours changes that behavior for frontend users, which seems worth discussing separately. A non-empty LC_NUMERIC may already be inherited by scripts that currently work because Windows ignores it. There is also the precedence question: this patch applies LC_NUMERIC without checking LC_ALL, so it does not quite reproduce POSIX behavior. I'd propose to fix the tests independently while discussing what locale environment handling we want on Windows. Thank you! Best regards, Andrew Borodin.
