Comment 3 Mike McLean 2002-12-19 20:18:37 EST

did not repeat when I restarted the testcase on the same machine.

Comment 4 Michael Fulbright 2002-12-27 10:58:37 EST

Oh dear.

Will leave this around in case it happens again.

Comment 5 Mike McLean 2003-01-02 16:01:18 EST

Happened again.  Different machine (First time was a Proliant DL380 G2, this
time was an older Proliant DL380).  

This was with Phoebe public beta 1.  Exact same testcase, though:
RH-full_server-install-mirror-french-nfs-TUI.

Comment 7 Michael Fulbright 2003-01-02 16:57:12 EST

Ok will investigate further.

Comment 8 Mike McLean 2003-01-07 13:37:54 EST

also observed with
* full workstation german nfs tui
* full server german nfs tui

note that all observed cases are nfs tui installs.  I also have yet to see this
on an english or japanese language install.

Comment 9 Michael Fulbright 2003-01-10 16:04:14 EST

This was triggered by slang calling setlocale.

We've worked around it in python land.

Comment 10 Mike McLean 2003-01-13 19:58:24 EST

fix verified in -re0113.0
