[bug #39900] unar: Uncaught exception NSCharacterConversionException, reason: Can't get cString from Unicode string.

[Fred Kiefer]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #39900 (project gnustep):

I think that Eirc was correct with his answer. I found this link when
searching for issues with nl_langinfo:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1558379/whi-is-nl-langinfocodeset-different-from-locale-charmap

It explains that you need to call setlocale(LC_ALL, "") first.

I have attached a small progam that demonstrated this. If you comment out that
line, you will get the wrong result from nl_langinfo.

Eric is also correct in that a framework should not call such an important
function  somewhere in the depths of its implementation. And as GNUstep is
just a set of frameworks we go to great pain in base to not set the locale
permanently.
Most likely it belongs into the main() function of the real application in
this case unar.

We could thing about adding this call to NSApplicationMain, but that wont help
you with a command line program.
