bug#72524: how does grep determine locale if no LC environment variables are set

[mark.yagnatinsky]

Yeah but that would involve compiling the SAME WAY that this one was compiled, 
and I have no idea how the Git Bash for Windows project does this kind of thing.
I tried it on a grep in a more full-featured distribution (namely MSYS2) and it 
works fine.
I'm tempted to try it on a different computer and see what it does there, but 
not sure when I'll get around to it.
I don't suppose you have a Windows machine with git installed conveniently 
lying around by any chance?
(I have one lying around, but not conveniently.)

Only if you're reasonably experienced with machine code. It's not fun, but it's 
doable.

You could write your own little test program that simply does 'setlocale 
(LC_ALL, "")' followed by the fprintf code I sent you earlier, and debug that 
or see what it does.
