ppdOpen does not preserve the locale (LC_NUMERIC). Apparently it tries
to preserve the locale using 
char *oldlocale;
oldlocale = setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, NULL);
do stuff
setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, oldlocale);

when it should use
char *oldlocale;
oldlocale = g_strdup(setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, NULL));
do stuff
setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, oldlocale);
g_free (oldlocale);

In the former case oldlocale may change between the 2 invocations of
setlocale.

See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115409 for a serious
consequence of that bug.

thanks

At least since 1.2.1, CUPS ppdOpen doesn't modify LC_NUMERIC.

CUPS 1.2 series has new internationalization framework is better
than old 1.1 series.
