more about clisp start-up error "invalid byte #xBF in CHARSET:ASCII conversion"



hello,

under some circumstances, clisp reports "invalid byte #xBF in
CHARSET:ASCII conversion"
or something like that.

what i have found is that
LANG=es maxima
triggers that error, while
LANG=es_ES maxima
does not.
(same thing with LANG=pt and LANG=pt_BR.)

maybe this is a clue? dunno what is the distinction between es and es_ES.

hth
