Yes, that sounds right.  If you comment out the "français" and "bokmål" lines 
from locale.alias, I assume that fixes the problem?  If so, let's do that.  The 
fancier fixes you mention also sound nice, but omitting the non-ASCII aliases 
should be helpful anyway, for programs other than 'locale' itself.
