Actually, he did. GNU Libc is localized for German and I was able to
crash XEmacs/Mule by running under a French locale and then forcing an
error message related to sound.
After thinking more and more, i belive that this
bug is not related to
xemacs, but to glibc locales support. I have made an bug-report to them
now, since i found that other programs (esp. man and whatis) dieing too.

It's supposed to work that way.
Jan, please try the attached patch and see if building in your normal
German locale works.
Nice try, but the problem is, that if i set my LC_ALL to de_DE
xemacs
crash if i force him to the error "No such file or directory". If i set
my LC_ALL to C. everythig work. After 1h of fiddeling, i have made
the brutal patch, it works for me, but it is clear that problems
should not "fixed" that way
