As LC_ALL is set I think this is normal as LC_ALL should override
the other locale env var and locale take this in account.
As 2.4.6 use setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "") to set the locale I conjecture
that you will have no warnning message with 2.4.6.
2.5.1 use setlocale(LC_CTYPE, getenv("LC_CTYPE")) to setlocale
it seems to me that you have no "de" locale on your machine:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] olivier]$ rpm -qa |grep locale
locales-he-2.3-3mdk
locales-ar-2.3-3mdk
locales-2.3-3mdk
locales-en-2.3-3mdk
locales-fr-2.3-3mdk
locales-ja-2.3-3mdk
locales-ru-2.3-3mdk
Any way, the 2.4.6 method to set the locale seems better
(I will commit the change soon but not at once).
