Comment (by Leinad):

 I tried it and it seems to work.

 In path.cpp in the unnamed namespace (the last one for "local helpers") I
 added {{{std::locale def_locale = default_locale();}}}. Also in the
 unnamed namespace I altered {{{std::locale& path_locale()}}}: it simply
 returns the newly added {{{def_locale}}}. That's it. No crash any more.

 I hope this helps to close this 5-year old bug.
