Can confirm that this is a locale issue, as commenting out the
setlocale call at the top of the "main" entry point fixes this issue.
The following "patch" against mtools.c also "works" for me:
+#ifdef HAVE_SETLOCALE
+ char *old_locale = setlocale(LC_ALL, NULL);
+ setlocale(LC_ALL, "C");
+ read_config();
+ setlocale(LC_ALL, old_locale);
+#else
read_config();
+#endif
.. but this is not quite right as it would mean that genuine syntax
errors printed in read_config() would not be translated into, say,
Turkish. Can't seem to a "C" locale version of toupper to work right
this second.
