Impact of bug:

Source changes are within gwave only, so no regression potentiall outside of this application.

Bug effects all users with LC_NUMERIC specifying "," rather than "." as a decimal point specifier.

Tested on locales where the bug didn't manifest, the proposed (upstream) fix has no effect on reading the test data.

If the SRU team could advise the best way to proceed, that would be appreciated. I believe an upload needs to be made to Lucid - either the very minimal proposed fix to the Ubuntu version of the pacakge - such that we can SRU it into Karmic.

OR.. a sync could be made from Debian unstable, to get the Debian version of the fix.

Since I've now figured out, and detailed a way for non fr_CA users to reproduce the bug, I expect the concensus issue John Dong mentioned shoud be resolevd. I realise there is not yet a fix in Lucid to back-port from, but I'm going to subscribe MOTU-SRU again for further advice.

Thanks
