I don't really want to imagine how you came up with that observation,
but yes, that's the same problem I am facing.  This is my current
workaround now:

1. Rename /usr/share/locale to something else, like local.bak.
2. Start mintty in the usual way.
3. Rename the directory from step 1 back to /usr/share/local.
4. Work just like the problem never existed either in the shell running
inside the mintty or even start a new mintty.


Andrew, can we have a Goldstar for Rainer, please?


Regards,
Achim.
