Summary: test_locale fails on IRIX 6.5

Initial Comment:
Built Python 2.2a1 on a 64-bit SGI box running IRIX
6.5.  test_locale fails as follows:

$ ./python Lib/test/test_locale.py
'%f' % 1024 =? '1,024.000000' ... no
'%f' % 1024 == '1024.000000' != '1,024.000000'
'%f' % 102 =? '102.000000' ... yes
'%f' % -42 =? '-42.000000' ... yes
'%+f' % -42 =? '-42.000000' ... yes
'%20.f' % -42 =? '                 -42' ... yes
'%+10.f' % -4200 =? '    -4,200' ... no
'%+10.f' % -4200 == '     -4200' != '    -4,200'
'%-10.f' % 4200 =? '4,200     ' ... no
'%-10.f' % 4200 == '4200      ' != '4,200     '

I'm happy to take Martin's word on this -- closing this bug
with "Won't fix".

This is a bug in the system C library, which fails to 
report proper separators in the en_US locale. Please 
complain to your operating system vendor; I propose to 
close this as "Won't fix".
