PSPP-BUG: [bug #30705] Decimal point and locale bugs in data parsing

[Ben Pfaff]

Update of bug #30705 (project pspp):

                  Status:                    None => Invalid                
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #1:

I think that this is behaving as it should, even if the behavior is
confusing.

In pt_BR.utf8, the default decimal point is a comma.  That explains the errors
for 10.3 and 10.2.

However, the DATA LIST default freefield delimiter is always a comma,
regardless of whether the decimal point is a dot or a comma.  This means that
10,3 10,2 is four fields, not two.  To get two fields, you need quotation
marks: "10,3" "10,2".

I don't think there's a bug here, but if SPSS behaves differently then please
explain what it does and reopen the bug.
