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:

localeconv() doesn't initialize lconv->thousand_sep and/or
lconv->grouping. Based on report by Dirk Vanhaute.
