It should also be noted that there are weirdnesses involved with running multiple locales on the same machine. For example, the 'pargs' command, which prints the arguments that were passed to a process when it was started, will belch errors when it is running in a locale different than the one it is being asked to enumerate the arguments for, even when there are no characters that it has to provide escapes for in its output. I find this more than a little annoying.
