Hi all!

Today I found that setting $ENABLE_STARTUP_LOCALE and $LANG causes
emacs to dump core with SIGSEV.

The last system calls are:

 21984 emacs-19.29 CALL  open(0xefbfd4e8,0,0x1b6)
 21984 emacs-19.29 NAMI  "/usr/share/locale/de_DE.ISO_8859-1/LC_CTYPE"
 21984 emacs-19.29 RET   open 3
 21984 emacs-19.29 CALL  fstat(0x3,0xefbfd46c)
 21984 emacs-19.29 RET   fstat 0
 21984 emacs-19.29 CALL  break(0x171000)
 21984 emacs-19.29 RET   break 0
 21984 emacs-19.29 CALL  break(0x192000)
 21984 emacs-19.29 RET   break 0
 21984 emacs-19.29 PSIG  SIGSEGV SIG_DFL
 21984 emacs-19.29 NAMI  "emacs-19.29.core"


I "solved" the problem for me by using Xemacs instead ;-)
Any ideas, what's wrong?
