Description

When compiled with IBM XLC++ 9.0 on AIX 5.3, the majority of ctype tests appear to hang (or time out). The output below has been copied from a 12a log for the latest trunk:

22.locale.ctype.is                HUP    0                         7.330 259.490 300.090
22.locale.ctype.narrow            HUP    0                         7.630 269.980 300.090
22.locale.ctype                   HUP    0                         8.090 274.500 300.130
