It means that the libc function setlocale return a NULL pointer when it is call as setlocale(LC_TYPE, ""). My libc manual says that: - Passing "" means to read the appropriate environment variable and use its value to select the locale for LC_CTYPE. - If you specify an invalid locale name, `setlocale' returns a null pointer and leaves the current locale unchanged. So it seems to me that the locale [EMAIL PROTECTED] is not supported by your libc. This seems strange and IMHO your system is miss-configured. Maybe your locale definitions of [EMAIL PROTECTED] (found somewhere under (/usr/share/locale/) is incomplete or does not match your libc. Maybe you have upgraded your libc without upgrading your locales (or inversely). Olivier -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
