>Description:
A statically linked program using a static C++ locale object like in the example below cannot be transferred from RHL 9 to RHL 7.3.

The program works on RHL 9 but crashes at static cleanup under RHL 7.3.

Here is the backtrace from RHL 7.3:
(gdb) bt
#0  0x00000004 in ?? ()
#1  0x080ab7b1 in _nl_cleanup_ctype ()
#2  0x0808b056 in _nl_unload_locale ()
#3  0x0808c089 in freelocale ()
#4  0x0805d5bd in std::messages<wchar_t>::~messages() ()
#5  0x08049a5c in std::locale::facet::_M_remove_reference() ()
#6  0x08060c58 in std::locale::_Impl::~_Impl() ()
#7  0x0804920d in std::locale::~locale() ()
#8  0x0804823f in __tcf_0 ()
#9  0x08090ab2 in exit ()
#10 0x08089d6b in __libc_start_main ()

Is it my fault because of the two different glibc versions?
Shouldn't statically linking avoid such problems?

When the locale "de_AT@euro" is replaced with "C" the program works as expected. Nevertheless the locale "de_AT@euro" is present on the RHL 7.3 system (according to locale -a).
>How-To-Repeat:
* Compile program on RHL 9:
g++ -static locale.cpp -o locale
* Copy it to a RHL 7.3 installation and run it
./locale
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
>Fix:
#include <locale>

class String { static std::locale m_locale; };
std::locale String::m_locale("de_AT@euro");

int main(void)
{ return 0; }
