According to the guy who developed reformime (who i talked to today),
reformime inherits $LANG from it's parent process, it might be as simple
as putting in a special case where $LANG is set before calling
reformime... but I didn't have confidence in my ability to hack up Q-S.
Now there's at least a record of a workaround out there. When i started
looking 3 weeks ago, there was only 1 reported case of this bug - in
japanese, with no solution posted.

Aaron.
