I think this locale setup is a bit different with Debian installations.
/usr/lib/locale/ holds no files except for 'locale-archive' which,
according to file, is a PDP11 executable :P

I tried specifying 'nl_NL@euro.UTF-8 nl_NL.UTF-8' in locale.alias, but
to no extent. It still won't start.

Thanks,
Sander
