setlocale => malformed number near '0.3'

[Tuomo Valkonen <tuomov@...>]

If locale is set to recognise numbers in locale format, Lua stops working,
expecting this to _change language syntax_. Apparently this is a well-known
problem[1,2]. Why has nothing been done about it? This kind of behaviour is
inexcusably brain-damaged, even if doing otherwise would mean having to know
more of the system than ANSI C provides.
