setlocale() crashes when given ".iso-8859-1"
Just FYI, VC++6SP4 setlocale() crashes (in a hard to debug way -- stack
trace isn't available) if it's given an encoding (aka code page) name
that is more than eight characters.
I noticed it when trying to do:
setlocale(LC_ALL, "English_United States.iso-8859-1");
Since Microsoft's setlocale() doesn't understand MIME names (as
specified at http://www.*-*-*.com/
sets), this wouldn't do what I want anyway, but it would be nice if
setlocale() just returned NULL instead of crashing on unrecognized
input.
