Ok guys, I'm not opposed to this change in terms of its result,
but I'm starting to wonder why all this locale code in fhandler_tty
is necessary at all.
I see that get_langinfo() calls __loadlocale and performs a lot of stuff
on the charsets which looks like duplicates of the initial_setlocale()
call performed at DLL startup.
If there's anything missing in the initial_setlocale() call which would
be required by the pseudo tty code? What exactly is it? The codepage?
And why can't we just add the info to cygheap->locale at initial_setlocale()
time so it's available at exec time without going through all this hassle
every time?
Apart from that, all this locale/charset/lcid stuff should be concentrated
in nlsfunc.cc ideally.
Thanks,
Corinna
