Hmm, I know the locale can be spelled "en_US.UTF-8" (note dash) in some
systems.  So if you have a locale alias that makes en_US.utf8 the same
as en_US.UTF-8, the patched code would still not work.  I wonder if
there's a need for canonicalization somewhere.  Or maybe this is just
not worth the trouble.
