Bug#247223: locale-gen gets killed

["tic@tictric.net" <tic@tictric.net>]

Package: locales
Version: 2.2.5-11.5

I know this has been on the list before and I hope it's not a superfluous  
report but it just won't work :-)

Generating locales fails with

Generating locales...
  de_DE.ISO-8859-15@euro.../usr/sbin/locale-gen: line 22:  3347 Killed
 localedef -i $input -c -f $charset $locale
 done
Generation complete.


In kern.log I find the following:

attempted resource overstep by requesting 4096 for RLIMIT_CORE against  
limit 0 by /usr/bin/localedef[localedef:3347]uid/euid:0/0 gid/egid:0/0,  
parent /usr/sbin/locale-gen[locale-gen:3330] uid/euid:0/0 gid/egid:0/0


I did try to find out what _line 22_ it's complaining about but I failed.
If there's already a fix available I'd be glad to learn about it.


Thank you for your help.
