On checking this, I find that the C standard says

"At program startup, the equivalent of

     setlocale(LC_ALL, "C");


is executed."

So I don't think this is a bug in Exim; I think it is a bug in your C
runtime environment. However, there is no harm in actually including

setlocale(LC_ALL, "C");

at the start of Exim, just to be on the safe side. So I will do that.
