locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid [ was: Miro crash on startup on FreeBSD 8.2 amd64 ]

[Armin Pirkovitsch]

Hi!

@i18n:
Has any of you ever seen the problem below and knows a possible solution 
to it?

@Grzegorz:
I can't really reproduce the problem locally - however it sounds to me 
as if the trouble goes deeper than miro (especially since miro is 
written in python and the error looks like a C++ error to me).
You could try to unset LANGUAGE, LC_ALL, LC_MESSAGES and LANG and see if 
that changes anything.

However you might get more information from the i18n@ guys and girls 
concerning that problem since I have no experience with localization.

Cheers,
Armin

PS.: please CC me in the replies to the list since I have no 
subscription to it and I would be quiet interested in a possible solution.
