LC_NUMERIC affects the format which scanf("%f") etc understands. If
it's set to a locale which uses a comma as the decimal separator, any
GRASS function which tries to read floating-point values which use a
period (i.e. many of GRASS' internal file formats) will fail.
This isn't a problem for normal GRASS modules, as GRASS modules (and
library functions) never call setlocale(LC_NUMERIC). It is a problem
if you're using GRASS library functions from within a program which
sets LC_NUMERIC from the environment (I suspect that this includes the
Python interpreter).

A more general fix would be to call setlocale(LC_NUMERIC,"C") from
e.g. gisinit() (in lib/gis/gisinit.c). Otherwise, we will probably end
up running into this issue repeatedly.
