Subject: cygwin: setlocale(LC_ALL, "ja_JP.utf8") panic: strxfrm() gets absurd
Message-Id: <5.14.2_2132_1398453260@win>

This is a bug report for perl from rurban@x-ray.at,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.14.2.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
cygwin 5.18.2

$ ./perl -MPOSIX -e'setlocale(LC_ALL, "ja_JP.utf8")'
panic: strxfrm() gets absurd - a => 100, ab => 100 at -e line 1.

all other locales before ja_JP.utf8 in lib/locale.t do work fine.
I haven't checked if that's the problem fixed in blead with setlocale by
kwh, or a cygwin bug.
