Re: NSDecimalSeparator

It should also be noted that there are weirdnesses involved with running 
multiple locales on the same machine.  For example, the 'pargs' command, which 
prints the arguments that were passed to a process when it was started, will 
belch errors when it is running in a locale different than the one it is being 
asked to enumerate the arguments for, even when there are no characters that it 
has to provide escapes for in its output.  I find this more than a little 
annoying.
