It breaks build scripts / Makefiles, as the exit code is non-zero. That's the main problem I've had. Of course it's possible to workaround by modifying those scripts to ignore the exit code. But it's just as easy to set LANG=C or (as I have done) to write a /usr/local/bin/dd script containing #!/bin/sh export LANG=C exec /bin/dd "$@"' -- Jamie -- locale dependant segfault for dd https://launchpad.net/bugs/42264 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
