Description Михаил 2007-11-30 21:20:12 UTC 
In russian locale, netcat error messages display as '???????'

Need to set LC_CTYPE along with LC_MESSAGES to correctly display messages in locales other then C/POSIX
Required for correct i18n support in glibc.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set non C/posix locale, for example: export LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8
2. run netcat -u 127.0.0.1 <unused port>
3. enter any data into standart input
Actual Results:  
Display error message
read(net): ? ?????????? ????????

Expected Results:  
Display error message
read(net): В соединении отказано
