Yes. In this case the problem is likely in libc. And since later
versions don't have this problem it is almost certainly already fixed
there.

Since I can't reproduce the problem with libc-2.3.2,
using several different locales, I suspect it's not
a problem with the coreutils package.
What version of libc are you using.
When you run `locale', what does it print?

Both 5.0 and 5.0.91 also have the problem.

Thanks for the report.
That version is pretty old. There have been numerous improvements.
Please see if you can reproduce the problem with a newer version:
