Hi!
Since the latest version of locales (2.3.2.ds1-11) I had to kill it
whenever apt attempted to install it because CPU usage shot up to 99 %.
I know that that is normal during locale-generation, however, locales
does not even get to generate the locales, it stays at:

Setting up locales (2.3.2.ds1-11) ...

After having let locale "work" at 99 % for 4 hours straight (surely not
the intended behaviour), "top" showed:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
5675 root 22 0 1420 1420 544 R 99.2 0.2 4:08.80 sed
=

ps axf gives (relevant sections):
\_ aptitude
\_ /usr/bin/dpkg --configure locales libgimp1.3 gimp1.3 libglade2-dev
\_ /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/share/debconf/frontend
/var/lib/dpkg/info/locales.postinst configure 2.3.2.ds1-10
\_ /bin/sh /var/lib/dpkg/info/locales.config configure 2.3.2.ds1-10
\_ /bin/sh /var/lib/dpkg/info/locales.config configure 2.3.2.ds1-10
\_ sed -e s/,/, /g -e s/, *$//

Similar errors happened before, but they usually went away with the next
version of locales. From the above mentioned programme output I guess
sed is the programme causing the problem, the installed version is
reported as "GNU sed version 4.0.9"

Thanks, please do contact me for further info
