What is strange is that we do not set the locale of LC_NUMERIC, and I
thought that in this case we were safe. We could fix this particular
problem by hand, but I fear it could appear elsewhere.
A possible workaround: could you ask this user to add
setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "C");
between locale_init() and gettext_init() in main.C:main()? If it makes
a difference, I'll fix it like that.
We already had a similar report earlier, but since we could not
reproduce it, it never got fixed.
