Thanks for the report. Please note that your patch sets the thousands
separator to C, which is probably not what you had in mind. I'm
about to apply a slightly different patch to deal with the problem you
describe:

* utils.c (get_grouping_data): Cope with systems where
localeconv() doesn't initialize lconv-thousand_sep and/or
lconv-grouping. Based on report by Dirk Vanhaute.
