Public bug reported:
Turkish locales have a unusual collation feature. The letter "i" is
uppercased to "İ", while the usual English uppercase "I" is lowercased
to "ı". This breaks programs that use common "upcase(s1) == KEYWORD"
idiom to recognize keywords with case insensitivity.
/etc/mtools.conf (default):
drive a: file="/dev/fd0" exclusive
$ LC_CTYPE=tr_TR.UTF-8 mtools
Syntax error at line 5 for drive A: column 9 in file /etc/mtools.conf:
unrecognized keyword
$ LC_CTYPE=C mtools
Supported commands:
mattrib, mbadblocks, mcat, mcd, mclasserase, mcopy, mdel, mdeltree
mdir, mdoctorfat, mdu, mformat, minfo, mlabel, mmd, mmount
mpartition, mrd, mread, mmove, mren, mshowfat, mshortname, mtoolstest
mtype, mwrite, mzip
