Setting the locale *might* have side-effects, for instance we noticed before that heap profiling broke in some locales because the RTS code to generate the .hp file was using fprintf to print numbers, and the number format depends on the locale.
You could avoid this by setting LC_CTYPE instead of LC_ALL.
It's probably best if we work correctly even if the user needs to set LC_CTYPE themselves for some reason, though. Thanks Ian
