Comment (by dirk_at_[hidden]):

 I believe this also happens with the following piece of code:

 int main()

 {

   std::locale::global(std::locale(""));

   // choke

 It seems osx/bsd only supports "C" and "POSIX" (there are some post on the
 web saying this), which is sort of strange - why should this be and OSX
 does support unicode (how?)

 Could this be fixed in any way? Or does Apple need to do something (I'd
 rather not compile my own gcc)

 Best, Dirk
