22 I wasn't, so I installed it on my testing machine just to see.
23 I don't have the de_DE.UTF-8 locale, but I tested
24 de_DE@euro
25 fr_FR@euro
26 zh_TW
27 zh_HK
28 ja_JP
29 en_US
30 and don't see the same behaviour (which probably means my settings
31 [all defaults, I didn't change a thing] are okay).
32
33 What if you tried using a different locale, say POSIX? does the error
34 message still show up?
35
36 I am really groping in the dark here, so I don't even know if my
37 suggestion is on the right track or not.
