The first fix wasnt enough, but now its ok.

If rlougher says that jamvm is ok too, then I guess thus bug can be closed.

Summary:  jamvm/kaffe crash with unknown locale

Original Submission:  
When there is LANG value which is not locale-gen'ed,
both kaffe and jamvm crash.  I'm not sure whose bug it is.
If its VM bug, I can report it further.

public class Test3 {
public static void main(String [] args) {}}

$ LANG=vi kaffe-cvs Test3

Guilhem Lavaux just told me that the bug is fixed in Kaffe CVS.

The crash with JamVM is a bug in the VM, and I suspect it will be the same with 
Kaffe.

If the value is not locale-gen'ed, setlocale appears to return null.  I do 
basic checking that the returned locale string is in the right format, but not 
for null!

A fix will be in the next release.  If anybody requires it, I can submit a 
patch.  Thanks for finding this.
