[gcompris-devel] segfault with 4.2

[Bruno Coudoin]

OK, here we are. In src/gcompris/properties.c there is a test:
if (!strcmp(locale, "C"))

It maybe that locale is set to NULL an causes a crash. Replace it be the
line:
if (!strcmp("C", "C"))

Recompile install and run gcompris.

You maybe get the english only but at least we will progress.

Bruno.
