[OpenIndiana-discuss] Locale problems in OI.... seems not to work???

[Hans J. Albertsson]

Can someone point me to where in the OI source repository to find the 
sources involved for "locale" so I could see what the problem might be. 
I've tried to look it up, but there's no map of what is where, and I'd 
rather avoid downloading everything.
