            Bug ID: 24936
           Summary: gettext cache not invalidated by uselocale()
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: khw at cpan dot org

  Target Milestone: ---

See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=931139.

This appears to me to be a glibc bug.  The locale in a thread has changed, but
glibc continues to use a now incorrect cache.  I couldn't find any
documentation of how gettext and threads interact.  I presume the invalidation
need only occur if LC_MESSAGES is changed, not any other category.
