Yes, yes, old thing, but I do reply this because I've been two
months offline (due to relocation) and is a question that raises
in the list many times.

FYI, and perhaps to improve a FAQ... I've had the very same
problem, and the very same dirty-hack did solve it, but then I
upgraded, and I thought that it wasn't nice to do that for every
upgrade/update, so... I looked for the real problem that is
written somewhere in the glibc-dev doc (IIRC). I haven't
correctly installed the new locales debian package, as glibc 2.2
introduced some little changes there (AFAIK). I did it the right
way and then I was unable to get the error back.
