Applied with minor cleanup.

I'm still concerned about the order-of-operations issue, but some
desultory experimentation on Linux (Fedora Core 3) did not find any
cases where setlocale(LC_MESSAGES) would fail because of a contradictory
LC_CTYPE setting, so maybe that theory is all wet. Still it seems there
is *something* fishy going on, given the number of reports we've seen.
