I think my .py files now have more print statements than they do other
code, and I still can't figure what causes the change (apart from when
we start the plugin and the logonex call).

If I open Outlook (starts in Outlook Today), wait for it to do a send &
receive (with nothing received) and then close it, the locale is changed
somewhere apart from these two known places, but I can't find the place!
It's somewhere between the end of OnStartupComplete() and the start of
OnClose().  (Very little gets called, since there isn't any training, or
changing of folders, etc).

Is it possible that Outlook simply changes the crt locale at some point
completely unrelated to spambayes activity?  This would explain why I
can't narrow down a call that does it.  If that's the case, then the
only solution is a band-aid one, isn't it - where we fix the locale each
time, before we do anything with floats.  (And avoid floats by using
float(1)/10 and so forth).

FWIW, here's what I get:
