See those patches for a potential fix:

They never got a real review. AFAIR, _XlcCurrentLC is not exactly great. 
We could try to get rid of it instead of having a version that leaks 
(although the leak is just one struct unless user changes locale), but 
it would require changes in much more places. Feel free to follow-up on 
those.


Thanks,

Jacek
