I'm using Terminal.app using default settings (AFAIK, except for
colors). "Set locale variables at startup" is enabled.

I don't see settings for en_ZA* in /usr/share/locale (af_ZA does
exist, but if my applications turn Afrikaans I'll go insane ;-) ) (And
OS X does not have a language settign for Afrikaans)

As far as I can figure out, no LC_* variable, except LC_ALL specific
the actual locale? They only determine individual settings, which
overwrites the default for the locale, as set by LANG? (Not sure if it
effectively means set everything to LANG's locale, overwrite
individual settings from LC_* if they are defined)

Mine gets set to C / UTF-8(for LC_CTYPE) of some reason...
