Marc-Andre Lemburg <m...@egenix.com> added the comment:

The reason this call fails is that there's no locale alias defined for
"ml_IN" in the local_alias dictionary.

While the patch is probably a good idea, it also hides the missing mapping.

I think a better approach would be to check the locale name for
standards compliance (ie. xx_YY format) and only then use it as fallback
solution.

I'll update the locale_alias dictionary to the X.org version 2009-12-08
(unless you know an even more recent version). This includes the missing
'ml_IN' mapping (among a few other additions and updates).
