In order to provide a uniform environment for the testsuite during smoke,
$ENV{LC_ALL} is localised for the "make test" phase in "mktest.pl", so it is
empty (I hadn't realised that):
~$ perl -wle 'local $ENV{LC_ALL}; print qx/set | grep LC_ALL/'
LC_ALL=
Perhaps I need to change the implementation for that and set its localised
value to "C"?
Any thoughts?
Good luck,
Abe

I'm not convinced. By setting up mock-ups you are not testing the
real thing: you are testing mock-ups. It's really emptying shotguns
at decoys and concluding that yup, we are eating duck tonight.
