Travis Vitek commented on STDCXX-665:
-------------------------------------
This appears to be a bug in the documentation. The man page for catopen()
says...
The *catopen* subroutine returns a catalog descriptor. If the *LC_MESSAGES*
category is set to the default value C, and the *LC\_\_FASTMSG* environment
variable is set to true, the *catopen* subroutine returns a value of -1.
The documentation bug is that you must set the *LC\_\_FASTMSG* environment
variable to false to get consistent behavior with other platforms. Setting the
variable to something other than _true_ or unsetting the variable is not
sufficient. Again, *you must set LC\_\_FASTMSG to false to get the expected
behavior from catopen() on AIX*. I have verified this using the above testcase.
