Hello, the locale egg may examine environment variables to set its default locale to the same one the C library would use, but the locale management of the egg and the C library is otherwise completely independent. It should definitely be possible to setup the C library and the locale egg to use completely different locales. But, as I mentioned before, setting the C library locale at all, especially inside a CHICKEN program, is usually not a terribly smart idea.
