            Bug ID: 15878
           Summary: setlocale behavior shouldn't depend on the current
                    locale
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.18
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: aoliva at sourceware dot org

alias_compare calls strcasecmp instead of using the C locale, so the behavior
of setlocale WRT alias comparison will depend on what the active locale is. 
read_alias_file, one of the functions that calls the above, also calls isspace
while parsing the alias file, which again brings in locale-dependent behavior
into what locale will become effective.
