 Looks like a program bug.   The thousance separator for "fr_FR.UTF-8"
 in the locale spec is 0xc2a0 (UTF-8 encoding of 0xA0 the unbreakable space).
 
 That doesn't fit in a char variable.
 
 Whether this is a C++ definition problem - the standard locale
 definitions define the thousands sep as a string, not a char, and
 if C++ thinks it is a char, then it is broken, or just a program
 bug (trying to treat the string as if it were a char) I don't know.
