[issue7442] decimal.py: format failure with locale specifier

Stefan Krah added the comment: Yes, it's a problem in _localemodule.c. This situation always occurs when LC_NUMERIC is something like ISO8859-15, LC_CTYPE is UTF-8 AND the decimal point or separator are in the range 128-255. Then mbstowcs tries to decode the character according to LC_CTYPE and f
