185	libc: Calling setlocale() from both parent and forked child crashes child	Yuri Dario	bird	"When setlocale( LC_ALL,"""") is called in main program and also in the child forked process, the child crashes in UCONV.DLL

Sample testcase


{{{

#include <locale.h>

int local( char* who)
{
printf(""%s set locale\n"", who);
setlocale( LC_ALL, """");
printf(""%s set locale done\n"", who);
}

int main( void)
{
int pid;
local(""parent"");
pid = fork();
if (pid==0)
  local(""child"");
}

}}}

gives the following output

{{{

parent set locale
parent set locale done
child set locale
