Thanks, this is a good suggestion. Running with it, we can improve it further by
putting this new flag into struct localeinfo (so no need for a new dfasyntax
parameter), and also I think I can initialize it without using setlocale (so no
need to worry about setlocale's lack of thread-safety). I installed the attached
patches and they work with 'grep'. This way, we shouldn't need to pull in any
more Gnulib code into Gawk.

I plan to take a look at the more serious crashes soon.
