  This is what I have set:
 
$ locale
LANG=C
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
...
LC_*=C
...
LC_ALL=
 
Does [EMAIL PROTECTED] actually exist? For instance
 
 locate [EMAIL PROTECTED]

  $ locate [EMAIL PROTECTED]

  /usr/lib/locale/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
  /usr/lib/locale/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/LC_ADDRESS
  /usr/lib/locale/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/LC_COLLATE
  /usr/lib/locale/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/LC_CTYPE
  /usr/lib/locale/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/LC_IDENTIFICATION
  /usr/lib/locale/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/LC_MEASUREMENT

  /usr/lib/locale/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/LC_MESSAGES/SYS_LC_MESSAGES

  /usr/lib/locale/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/LC_NAME
  /usr/lib/locale/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/LC_NUMERIC
  /usr/lib/locale/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/LC_PAPER
  /usr/lib/locale/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/LC_TELEPHONE
  /usr/lib/locale/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/LC_TIME
  /usr/share/i18n/locales/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

should give you a whole bunch of stuff. If you build the
libraries yourself then glibc doesn't install all the locales
by default but you have to do a
 
  make localedata/install-locales
 
 after 'make install'
 
 The guys on the i18n@XFree86.Org mailing list will help
 if you email them.

I just installed the German language package from Debian 3.0.

  This is what I have set:
  
$ locale
LANG=C
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
 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).

Sigh!  Today the error message is gone without changing anything.
Might the setlocale function just throw random results from time
to time?
