This looks like the proper behavior to me. The '--disable-nls' option disables only the native language support (basically, the LC_MESSAGES part of the locale mechanism). It doesn't disable all of the locale mechanism, just the native-language part. Date formats come from LC_TIME, not LC_MESSAGES, so they're not affected by --disable-nls. Perhaps you'd like 'configure' to have a '--disable-locale' option to disable all locale processing, and always operate as if you're in the C locale? That might be useful, but it's a different animal from '--disable-nls'. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
