I suspect your problem is arising from extracting pieces of the test script and failing to prepare the locale in conformance with its expectations. I also strongly encourage you to migrate every Unix system under your control to UTF-8. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
