it looks like the way otran.c calls strtod() to check
numeric values is buggy, because it assumes a
certain locale and if the default encoding is changed
from ascii, say to UTF-8, then the parsing fails,

Some solutions were offered, one is to reimplement it using
the dietlibc code. What do you think?

Reimplementing sounds fine to me.  I would want to avoid the other option of
using a library function that is not ANSI C.

If there is a getlocale() in addition to setlocale(), then the setting could
be changed and then restored.  But that could involve a lot of calls to
these functions I suppose, which may not be desirable.
