 That's not good. I guess we could apply a workaround like they were
 using with gnumeric112 recently, where they simply disabled the
 particular language translation file that was causing the issue.
 
 FWIW, I haven't been able to reproduce this in a few test runs I just
 did. But I can see it also occurred on a recent Joyent SmartOS build.
