i dont think it does

`locale'

LANG=en
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=POSIX

and setting LC_ALL to POSIX is about the most sane thing you can do;
otherwise what is everything set to? if something breaks under POSIX,
then its most likely gonna break under a whole lot of other things.
