umm, sorry, i was mistyped.

I was told to set it at _startup_, but that's not good enough. I have
to set it runtime.

Description:
------------
Okay, i am posting this again, beacuse of my other bug was marked
bogus, and i still think it's not:

on BSD systems, setlocale itself is not usable for gettext without
putenv(). If I don't use putenv() with setlocale() (which is not enabled
by default in safe_mode=on for $LANG), my own translations are not
useable with gettext.

Since i use safe_mode, I'd not prefer enabling the setting of $LANG
variable with putenv(). What I've seen during php ktracing, is that
setlocale() only reads the original language settings from
/usr/share/locale/*, but my own translations are not looked up.

Is there any way to fix that functionality? Maybe it's more BSD related
than I think. KEEP IN MIND: If you would like to build a multi-langual
site with gettext, and the language have to be switched on-the-fly, you
HAVE TO set te $LANG variable on each run. I was told to set it at
runtime, but this is NOT an ELIGIBLE solution.

Please don't mark it bogus, because this is a real problem with
safe_mode=on.

Reproduce code:
---------------
You can simply try the gettext module's own tests to test it in BSD.
They all will fail, because those tests aren't usint putenv().
