Still waiting for a response to the above errors.

OK, a different error :-)

No. Howard is pointing out an error on CW-9 which doesn't have the 
locale problem that CW-8 has. All the tests for CW-9 run with locales 
enabled.

But now that I know I'll at the corresponding CW-8 tests and enable 
locale support on those tests.
