On my system, gwave parses ngspice and gnucap ASCII tables as rubbish. However, if I start it with LC_NUMERIC=C, it works fine.

I guess the issue is that gwave tries to use the local decimal separator (that is ',' in pl_PL) while ngspice and gnucap always output '.'.

Is that fixed in 20120229-r1?
