Severity: normal
The is*() and toupper()/tolower() functions do not work on non-ASCII
characters, even if LC_CTYPE etc. are set to the correct language used:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ locale
LANG=de_DE
LC_CTYPE="de_DE"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE"
LC_TIME="de_DE"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE"
LC_ALL=
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat try.c
#include <ctype.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int c = '�';
printf("%c: %d\n", c, isprint(c));
return 0;
}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gcc try.c -o try -Wall
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ./try
�: 0

� is a valid printing character, especially in the german language
(LANG=de_DE).
