[Bug libstdc++/14970] isalpha() inconsistent on 8-bit LATIN-1 chars

In short, the problem results from the combination of a bug in glibc isalpha vs
uselocale + g++ use of the latter in I/O. More recent versions of g++ output
integers in a different way (not using uselocale) therefore the problem does not
show up, but still does when outputting floats.

I would suggest updating glibc to a recent, fixed, cvs version, but unfortunately
doing this can be tricky. If you can afford to wait a bit look for glibc2.3.3 and
use a workaround in the meanwhile.
