First, thanks for the patch! Could you expand the commit message on this patch to include the reason why beyond "causes trouble"? I ask because I see that the help2man maintainer has provided some more details re. Perl/locale support: https://bugs.debian.org/894126#10 … and we should probably quote them instead of leaving it so vague. I might also be tempted to add a comment to the code itself for the same reason; I suggest you try it and see how it looks/reads in context - it is difficult to tell in the abstract. Hm, whilst I think of it, is there any possibility this locale was chosen *deliberately* because it's broken? Alas I'm not an expert in this code at all.. (Ximin?)
