Hmmm.... I guess you have to change the lex/yacc files.
I don't suggest you revert the patch. The push/poplocale
solution had deeper and worse problems.

I have absolutely no time to look at this now. I'm overloaded
of work and studies. So if you (or someone else) can take a
look at the lex/yacc things, I think that will be the
best thing.

Sorry,
