New failing tests for datestr (locale problem)

[Julien Bect]

Dear maintainers,

Since recently, I see lots of failing tests (15 I think) related to datestr.

Here are two of them :


!!!!! test failed
ASSERT errors for:  assert (datestr (testtime, 28),"Dec2005")

  Location  |  Observed  |  Expected  |  Reason
     []       déc.2005     Dec2005      Strings don't match
shared variables   scalar structure containing the fields:
    testtime =
       2.0050e+03   1.2000e+01   1.8000e+01   2.0000e+00 3.3000e+01   
1.7382e+01
  ***** assert (datestr (testtime+[0 0 3 0 0 0], "dddd"), "Wednesday")


!!!!! test failed
ASSERT errors for:  assert (datestr (testtime + [0, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0], 
"dddd"),"Wednesday")

  Location  |  Observed  |  Expected  |  Reason
     []        mercredi    Wednesday     Strings don't match
shared variables   scalar structure containing the fields:
    testtime =
       2.0050e+03   1.2000e+01   1.8000e+01   2.0000e+00 3.3000e+01   
1.7382e+01
  ***** assert (datestr ([1944, 6, 6, 6, 30, 0], 0), "06-Jun-1944 
06:30:00")


I can make them disappear by changing LC_ALL before running Octave, but 
is this really what I'm expected to do ?

This behaviour is new on my computer, and I don't think I saw any 
discussion on this list of this being an intentional change, but perhaps 
I missed something.
