Restrict the setlocale() to LC_CTYPE (was LC_ALL), because printf and friends
are LC_NUMERIC-sensitive. This fixes the generation of heap profiles for e.g.
de_DE locales where a comma separates the fractional part of a number, not a
dot. (There was a similar bug in Hugs regarding atof, BTW, which was fixed last
December.)

Merge to STABLE
(I leave this to the Grand Marshal of Releases, Mr. SimonM, because I'm not 100%
sure of all the consequences.)
