Todays' trunk builds and I can apply your patch (sans the ChangeLog),
but the buggy behaviour doesn't change.  Is there a way to check if the
patch has been applied correctly?  Otherwise I'd say that your assertion
that there's a bug in openSUSE is correct, but I still don't understand
why and how it ignores an explicit locale setting…
