Interesting.  Where is that specified?

OK, it wasn't the same as the original invocation anyway since now the
scripts would be called with LC_ALL=C set (which might be exactly what
you wanted, but still...) — so perhaps:

profile_d ()
{
  _LC_SAVE_="$LC_ALL"
  LC_ALL=C
  for file in /etc/profile.d/*.$1 ; do
    [ -e "${file}" ] && LC_ALL="$_LC_SAVE_" . "${file}"
  done
  LC_ALL="$_LC_SAVE_"
  unset file
  unset _LC_SAVE_
}

That leaves the original function calls the same as well.

Achim.
