The latter point is good news, cause we try to avoid reinventing the
wheel and having our own UTF8 code. So I'd like to commit a simple
#ifdef __APPLE__ && __MACH__ -based solution for this issue,
but I need to know this: when you say "default", do you mean:
std::locale loc("C"); (= locale::classic())
or:
std::locale loc("");
I would choose the latter, but your patch uses the former, which
should be OK _only_ with pure-ASCII data according to the books. But
maybe that's where MacOSX differs? Does it have some LANG/LC_ env
system too? Any reference appreciated.

It looks like this flag is not portable indeed, so we are currently
looking for alternative solutions. If anyone has a clue...

Could you please report about the tests that fail? (besides the one
below) Thanks a lot in advance.

Agreed.
