They aren't supposed to be an exact copy of the C locale, but to implement the existing natural language conventions. Please refer to the rationale for the C standard (complete with using Roman numerals in date abbreviations, by the way). Depending on unreasonable assumptions about a locale (endianness of the date format, format widths, existence of am_pm, etc.) is simply a bug. Such a bug should usually be trivial to fix, with an immediate benefit to users of other locales, as well. -- http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4789 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
