Hi all,
I posted a bug report to bug-bash on June 21 about this seemingly long-standing

I have not gotten any responses yet, and I am anxious to continue helping to

In file locale.c, function get_locale_var, locale =
default_locale;/* system-dependent; not really portable. should it
be "C"? */
default_locale contains string returned by calling
setlocale(LC_ALL,NULL); and we then use this string to assign locale for
LC_'every_oth
put a backslash in front of the $ so that it is not substituted when
the here document read, but later when you run that code.
