In reply to the initial report: > 'locale' prints not only the values of LC_*, but also LANG and LANGUAGE. Does it really do this on Ubuntu? On my Fedora system, locale(1) displays LANG, but not LANGUAGE. This is consistent with the fact that LANGUAGE is gettext-specific, as I understand it. --

Regarding the initial report: [[ It would be nice to have the manpage of setlocale updated to declare that the env variable "LANGUAGE" will be read to get the language. It should also state that the variable LANGUAGE will be the first one (before LC_ALL or LANG). ]] This appears incorrect to me

Arto, it's the simple fix, but before I push it further, does the attached patch fix your problem? At this point (ii.e., since LInux 3.8), I suspect that the limit that the kernel code currently tries to enforce on queues_max is anyway meaningless. Unprivileged users can nowadays use clone(CLONE_
