Hi Mark,

The problem seems to be that the thousands separator on the Solaris
variant of en_US is an empty string (rather than a comma) (*), and
apparently it hits a bug in the padding mechanism (which perhaps assumes
that the thousands separator is always a 1-character string).

(*) (another reason not to use any C locale-based mechanism for
localization, by the way...)
