My program (wcd) uses gettext/libintl. Libintl is causing the effect. Libintl is not working properly with a locale C.UTF-8. That is a serious problem.
That's a bug in libintl8 0.18.1.1-1. It does not happen with the previous version 0.17-11. Hopefully this gets fixed ASAP.
The other is the issue that spawned this thread, which raised questions about how basefiles::/etc/profile.d/lang.{sh,csh} should behave, and other related complexities. IIRC we reached an impasse with this subthread (and replies): http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-09/msg00063.html
See also the various messages in this thread, during the last day or two.
So...I'm rather stuck. I can't fix anything if we don't have a plan for what the desired behavior IS. Right now, we all (except for Bruno!) agree that $current_behavior is bad. But how exactly to fix it -- and whether to do so in opposition to Bruno, the actual libintl maintainer -- is still an open question.
