ok, this makes no sense to me, but this is failing for me on os x.

actually, it appears to be listed in the BUGS section of the man page:

      The current implementation supports only the "C" and "POSIX"
locales for
      all but the LC_COLLATE, LC_CTYPE, and LC_TIME categories.

if you try to set LC_ALL to "" (meaning 'the default locale'), it
always returns NULL. i'm not sure what exactly to do about this... do
we just return to not checking the return value of setlocale?
