When initdb is given an invalid (possibly mistyped) locale name, it just
prints a warning and proceeds with the default locale from the
environment. Someone already wondered about this before:
/* should we exit here? */ if (!ret) fprintf(stderr, _("%s: invalid locale name \"%s\"\n"), progname,
locale);
return ret;
I obviously think we should. Why shouldn't we?
