 hi,
 
 NetBSD-4.0 LC_MESSAGES's behavior is just the kludge.
 see following XXX comment:
 
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/lib/libc/locale/setlocale.c.diff?r1=1.36&r2=1.37
 
 
 or we have to add alias ja -> ja_JP.eucJP?
 
     /usr/share/locale/locale.alias
     ja        ja_JP.eucJP
 
 BTW, gettext doesn' require this alias, it seek the message catalog
 following order:
     ja_JP.eucJP -> ja_JP -> ja
 
 so please use LANG=ja_JP.eucJP instead of LANG=ja.
 
 
 very truly yours.
