>Description:
When using Chora to browse a Subversion repository, the environment variable "LANG" is set to whatever the language setting of your Horde portal is set to.

This makes the following call in in cmdline.c:
   if (!setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ""))
return NULL and Subversion returns with an error message.
>How-To-Repeat:
Get Horde/Chora from CVS
Get Subversion from pkgsrc
Configure Chora with a valid SVN repo
Try to access this repository
>Fix:
Clean fix: fix setlocale() in NetBSD (no idea how to do this)

Dirty patch: comment out the code that calls setlocale() in Subversion
