Thanks very much for the patch.  I'll give it a try shortly.

Yes, I believe that the patch was installed during the last hppa
and i686 linux builds.  The results of the hppa build are gone
but the i686 fails look like:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  attempt to create locale from unknown name

I believe the i686 system has a full collection of locales.  I just
discovered on the hppa machine that the locale path wasn't what I thought.
localedef installs by default to $prefix/share/locale but the default
path for locales is $prefix/lib/locale.  Anyway, locale -a now reports
C, POSIX, de_DE, de_DE at euro, en_HK, en_PH, en_US, es_MX, fr_FR, fr_FR at euro,
it_IT and ja_JP on the hppa machine.  We'll see if that makes a difference.
