Changes by:    tgl@postgresql.org    02/10/18 16:44:02

Modified files:
    src/backend/utils/adt: pg_locale.c

Log message:
    Fix breakage that had crept into setlocale() usage: once again we've
    been bit by the fact that the locale functions return pointers to
    modifiable variables.  I added some comments that might help us avoid
    the mistake in future.

This fixes our float() bug?

Teodor's complaint, yes.  (At least it fixes the HPUX manifestation,
but I imagine FreeBSD's problem is the same.)
