I don't know. I don't have any locales installed, and standard GNU libc
locale support sucks (read the end of 'man setlocale', for instance). Maybe
"us" is not the right string, "en", "en_US" or something like that might be
better. Try to look inside the locales package, maybe there is a list
somewhere... I was hoping an expert would enter the thread :).

Did setting it work on a Windows box?
