I just checked the setlocale() code (in HEAD), and surely it can
return false without a warning, it can even be an almost empty (and
just as quiet) stub that just returns false, depending on the value
of HAVE_SETLOCALE during compilation.
So, before you go off recompiling mod_php with a few printf() and
perror() calls here and there, you should find out whether it's PHP
or Apache that makes the call fail. Try a simple CGI script, does
locale manipulation succeed there?
