That doesn't solve the problem because httpd defaults to the C locale,
it never makes the necessary setlocale call to cause it to actually
pay attention to the various env vars, so the system locale is totally
ignored. This is why I started the discussion on the httpd dev list,
to see if there was a reason that was never done.
