Excellent, thank you very much!

Your patches look good, and appear to work.  I'm going to apply them
as-is into the devel repo, and they'll be included in the next
release.

One thing, I'd prefer to use en_US.ISO-8859-1 as the 8-bit test locale
instead of the fi_FI one.  The english version is probably present on
more systems.  And, if setting locale fails, we should just skip the
tests which use non-ASCII chars.  I'll do that change on top of your
patches.
