Nope, after i call setlocale (LC_ALL, ""), all subsequent calls to 
setlocale(category, NULL) return "Russian_Russia.1251".

gl_locale_name() calls gl_locale_name_thread(), which returns the result of 
setlocale(category, NULL) for all supported categories (i.e. for everything 
except LC_MESSAGES; it returns NULL for those). If it returns NULL, then the 
rest of it is the same as what gettext does (posix, then default).
