Yes, that's true. Actually dash doesn't respect locales at all. Standards-compliance bugs in dash generally are important (and not necessarily serious). In this case it is more complicated --- calling 'setlocale(LC_ALL, "")' would require reexamining every locale-dependent library call dash makes and would hurt backward-compatibility. Help analyzing calls to mitigate the damage would be much appreciated. In the meantime, we should at least document it better in the manpage. Any ideas for wording?
