Package: glibc
Version: 2.3.2-95.20.1AX

Addition information about the setlocale puzzle is listed below

gcc version:gcc-3.2.3-36
kernel version:kernel-2.4.21-9.38AX

I used strace tool to log the run process of my program in both
reboot mode and shell mode, the result of those two logs are attached.

it is quite strange to find out that the setlocale function's strace
information is totally same in those two modes, but the file opened is
differ.
In reboot mode,
open("/home/local/mo/en_US/LC_MESSAGES/test.mo", O_RDONLY) = 3

In shell mode
open("/home/local/mo/ja_JP.eucJP/LC_MESSAGES/test.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/home/local/mo/ja_JP.eucjp/LC_MESSAGES/test.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/home/local/mo/ja_JP/LC_MESSAGES/test.mo", O_RDONLY) = 3


Is it a bug or all thing turn out to be myself's misuse?

Any tips is appriciated

Thanks in advance
