 I may have the effect of this bug (when it happens) incorrect.
 When I think about it, it is more likely to simply not do
 grouping at all when it occurs, rather than to do it incorrectly
 (which is still wrong) - as I implied, I have never actually
 seen the bug occur (yet) - my printf(3) code was fixed before
 I created a locale which could trigger the issue.
 
 In any case, this is truly a very obscure problem, and I don't
 plan on requesting pullups to anything when it is fixed, released
 versions of NetBSD have no locales which can trigger the problem.
