There is more to this bug than appears. I'm guessing that the name
mangling code in locale (e.g. the normalizing code) is locale dependent. 
See this example:
#!/usr/bin/python2.5
import locale
print 'TR', locale.normalize('tr')
print locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, ('tr_TR', 'ISO8859-9'))
# first issue, not quite the same coming out, as came in
print locale.getlocale()
# and this fails
print locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, ('tr_TR', 'ISO8859-9'))
First, the value returned from getlocale is ('tr_TR', 'so8859-9'), not
('tr_TR', 'ISO8859-9'), and the second setlocale fails.
