(through bleary dilated eyes)

But we aleady do it implicitly for everything but Windows now, with this:

  unset LC_COLLATE LC_CTYPE LC_MONETARY LC_MESSAGES LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME
LC_ALL LANG LANGUAGE

Both Petr and I have seen that with --no-locale set the regression set
gets a clean run. If you want us to dig deeper into those 9 failures,
just tell us what to look for.
