Description

The localedef utility aborts on LC_TIME definitions containing fewer than the usual number of strings for multistring keywords such as day, abday, etc,

$ cat charmap && cat locale.src && ../bin/localedef -c -w -f charmap -i locale.src dummy || gdb -q ../bin/localedef core
CHARMAP
END CHARMAP
LC_TIME
day "Sun";"Mon";"Tue"
END LC_TIME
Assertion failed: str1[0] == '\"', file /build/sebor/stdcxx-4.1.3/util/def.cpp, line 254
Abort (core dumped)
Core was generated by `../bin/localedef -c -w -f charmap -i locale.src dummy'.
Program terminated with signal 6, Aborted.
