The problem of that hack is that setlocale might affect other threads currently running. Do we know which versions exactly are affected by this bug? Is it fixed already? is there a patch distros could apply?

No clue, i told them on IRC and they said the bug has been there forever, but it's not since with 9.06 it works, they said they'd fix it but can't find anything in their git log that says it's been fixed.
