This happens when the setlocale() routine fails, presumably because
there is something wrong with your environment wrt locales (I'm not
an expert on those).  You can work around it by changing

    COLLATE = 1

to

    COLLATE = 0

in the makefile, but it would be better I guess to work out what
actually went wrong.
