Ok, we finally found the problem(s):

- - First of all, this problem only seems to occur under some
circumstances.  We are using the Solaris "CSW" perl package, but we have
also seen this with the "normal" Solaris 10 perl package.

- - we had to use "gmsgfmt" from the CSW ggettext package. The "native"
msgfmt and the one from Sun Freeware did not work for us. (But we found
that this is only true for some language files. Others language .mo
files, eg. fr_FR, seem to work fine with the standard msgfmt).

- - gettext behaves differently on Linux on Solaris. On Linux, it uses
LC_MESSAGES, LC_ALL and LANG. On Solaris it does not but uses LANGUAGE
instead. Oh well. So the patch below needs to be changed to set LANGUAGE
as well. Olivier will do this, thanks (also for everything else he did
to help us locate the problem). This is only a problem if LANG is set to
anything different from C or POSIX.

Greetings,
Michael
