Re: thousands separator

[Aharon Robbins]

I retrieve the locale information when the program starts up (by a call
to localeconv()) and copy the structure. This is in main().

The actual formatting is handled manually in format_tree() in builtin.c.

It sounds like a Vista bug. Eli, you're using XP, right?

Thanks,

Arnold
