--- Comment #3 from Yuri Pankov <yuripv at gmx.com> ---
Given that you didn't provide the code snippet and results, I'll just guess
that you seem to be misunderstanding what newlocale(3) is about -- it simply
creates the locale object to be used by *_l versions of the functions, i.e. you
should have used wctomb_l(3) with the locale object you created, or
uselocale(3) to set current thread's locale.  The meaning of NULL and
LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE is described in xlocale(3).
