setlocale() kills site

Last night I had a web site. This morning it was returning nothing. I traced
it to a call to setlocale(). It appears that something has happened that
means that any call to setlocale completely kills the site, including
dumping anything that is in the output buffer.
Take a look at http://www.osg-uk.com/st.php and
http://www.osg-uk.com/sts.php the contents of which are shown below.

Anyone got any ideas?

st.php:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled </title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
echo '1';
//setlocale(LC_TI ME, "C");
echo '<br>'.strftime ("%A");
//setlocale(LC_TI ME, "fi_FI");
echo '<br>'.strftime (" in Finnish is %A,");
//setlocale(LC_TI ME, "fr_FR");
echo '<br>'.strftime (" in French %A and");
//setlocale(LC_TI ME, "de_DE");
echo '<br>'.strftime (" in German %A.\n");
?>
</body>
</html>

I was working with a co-worker the other day to work through the process of formatting numeric values by imbueing C++ iostreams with locales.

What we found,...

Hi, I am in Linux writing a program using setlocale(3). But I found, only the first invocation of setlocale(3) can be success, any subsequent calling of this function will fail $B!J(B return NULL ) and the locale is not changed. Is there any tip here? Thanks.
