hello, world\n

"locale -a" prints its output space padded, while POSIX specifies

<quote src="http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/locale.html">

If any arguments are specified:

    If the -a option is specified, the names of all the public locales
    shall be written, each in the following format:

    "%s\n", <locale name>

</quote>

There's a "%-15s" somewhere where a "%s" should be, it seems.

Regards,

	Jens
