Robert,

I found that out too as soon as I got back and tested it yesterday afternoon. Boost::locale provides a similar service so I switched to that. There were a couple of other holes in my implementation, which I think I’ve resolved but ran out of time yesterday to test them. I expect I’ll have a fix pushed this afternoon.
