It seems that the call to setlocale() breaks stdio somehow. If you
replace the printf()s with write(STDOUT_FILENO, ...), and/or put a
"return 1234;" at the bottom, you'll see that the program actually
runs all the way through. The printf()s just don't output anything
after that first call to setlocale().
