Yes, wrong bug. Yes, in this one I’m only catching the exceptions because uncaught exceptions cause crashes. The root cause was libc’s not-quite-right creation of e.g. “Spanish_Spain.1252” locale strings, the .1252 part choking gen(“”) (and even Spanish_Spain chokes std::locale(“”). That’s addressed with the more thorough error handling and use of gen(“”) in b4fedff90e.
