It's stranger than that. If LANG is not set then EOL works right even
when LC_* are unset. The situation that causes problems is LANG set
and LC_* not set. setenv()ing LC_* based on the result of
setlocal("") (which usually returns LANG when LC_* are not set) does
not fix the broken behaviour. Something in iconv is set early in
process startup, ignores calls to setlocale(), and refuses to be fixed
later during execution. The script solution seems the simplest and
neatest way to address this.
Cheers,
Ian
