I'm not at all surprised that localedef has memory leaks.  In fact, I
didn't pay attention to freeing memory since the program cannot be run
on more than one input file (like cc).

But it still doesn't explain why localedef runs out of memory,
especially for a small charset like ISO-8859-1.  It might have to do
with the other errors you saw, though.
