State-Changed-Why:
    Note that this is not a new problem. Before this, LANG settings that were not "C" would cause input to fail, unconditionally.
    
    The current code path is not optimal, admittedly. Tricks in the "C" library in the glibc-2.3 timeframe will remove this issue from impacting modern linux systems.
    
    All that is really needed here is some kind of hard-wired "C" locale strtold/sscanf function. Or, some elimination of this step (long threatened by some contributors.)
    
    I believe this defficiency can be improved in the future, without breaking the ABI, so this is really not "critical" to me. Can I downgrade this to serios with low priority?
    
    thanks,
    benjamin
