>Description:
	When locale is set to fr_FR-ISO8859-15, some programs no longer work correctly. As an example, the tr program looks a little disturbed:

[nlsn at shiva ~]% export LC_ALL=C
[nlsn at shiva ~]% echo bonjoureeetraval|tr a-z n-za-m
obawbherrrgeniny
[nlsn at shiva ~]% export LC_ALL=fr_FR.ISO8859-15
[nlsn at shiva ~]% echo bonjoureeetraval|tr a-z n-za-m
øâáýâférrrëénìnz


>How-To-Repeat:

	Just repeat the sequence of command seen above. I got the same result
on another freeBSD box running FreeBSD 5.4

>Fix:
	Just a work around: set LC_ALL to C if you need to use a program which
doesn't work when locale is set to fr_FR-8859-15. Moreover, some other locales
work:
[nlsn at shiva ~]% export LC_ALL=fr_FR.ISO8859-1
[nlsn at shiva ~]% echo bonjoureeetraval|tr a-z n-za-m
øäâzäfèsssëènìná
[nlsn at shiva ~]% export LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8
[nlsn at shiva ~]% echo bonjoureeetraval|tr a-z n-za-m
