It's okay to use locale-dependent operations in a multi-thread program,
as long as you use only one locale for the entire process.
Even in a single-thread program, locale-dependent operations are not
appropriate for protocol use, IMO anyway. For security reasons,
protocol code should be as simple as possible, but locale-sensitive code
tends to be much more complex. Also, it seems to me that locale
formatters/parsers are designed for _human_ interfaces, which have a
fundamentally different set of requirements than a protocol interface.
