font-lock screwed

Current cvs, 21.5, standard font-lock (nothing font-lock related in init.el or custom.el) crashes (aka, don't font-locks, no xemacs crash) with: Symbol's value as variable is void: locale Signaling: (void-variable locale) set-progress-feedback-instantiator(#<window on "*scratch*" 0x31bb>) raw-append-progress-feedback("Fontifying *scratch*..." 0 #<x-frame "emacs" 0xe6d>) append-progress-feedback(font-lock "Fontifying *scratch*..." 0 nil) display-progress-feedback(font-lock "Fontifying *scratch*..." 0) progress-feedback-with-label(font-lock "Fontifying %s..." 0 "*scratch*") font-lock-default-unfontify-region(1 395 t) font-lock-unfontify-region(1 395 t) font-lock-default-fontify-buffer() font-lock-fontify-buffer() font-lock-mode(nil) call-interactively(font-lock-mode) I can do more precise debugging if the problem isn't obvious enough.
