I'm _always_ interested in killing a bug ;-)

 - LANG is not set in Windows (checked by "set" and "echo %LANG%" in
command prompt)
 - if I set Standards and formats : back to Slovenian, I still have
LANG=3DC.UTF-8 !!!
  I will try if there is a difference if I log off and back on, or reboot
 - I don't see SFU in "Add or Remove programs", neither is there a C:\SFU f=
older
 - I have gvim 7.2, and as mentioned, an older version of cygwin
(1.5.25), it has no LANG variable defined when started (Cygwin Bash
Shell)

David
