I sometimes still get English messages even when I set both LC_ALL and
LC_MESSAGES to nl_NL.ISO8859-1 :
 > echo $SHELL
/bin/tcsh
 > ls bla
ls: bla: Bestand of map niet gevonden
 > notacommand
notacommand: Command not found

output of { errno = ENOTDIR; err(1, NULL); } :
do-err: Not a directory

svn revision 189775

Any idea what could be wrong?
