I've been getting the same error here for awhile, but it doesn't seem to 
be a problem.  It's possible it'd be a problem if I were sharing the 
stuff I burned with folks trying to use it on MSWormOS, but otherwise, it 
shouldn't be, and I've had no complaints on the couple I did burn for 
MSWormOS using folks either, so it doesn't seem to be an issue.  It may 
also be a bit of an issue for anyone using multiple languages and 
character-sets, I'm not sure as I only use English.

If you were to fix it, however, it'd be by setting your i18n/l10n 
(internationalization/localization) settings properly.  As I only do 
English, I don't know a whole lot about that, but from what I've read, 
there were some issues related to that with a recent version of glibc, 
but I thought they were fixed, now, but you and I might still have a bad 
version merged, or something else that builds against them that k3b uses 
merged.  It may be as simple as setting an environmental variable 
correctly, or it might be k3b's detection screwed up.  I don't know.

I do know it hasn't seemed to cause any issues here, tho, so I haven't 
worried about it.  YMMV, of course.
