A patch in 
https://svn.uludag.org.tr/paketler/trunk/media-video/mplayer/files/mplayer-1 
.0_pre6-locale.patch is used with mplayer-1.0_pre6 without any problems for 
our Turkish Linux distro called Uludağ Linux [ http://www.uludag.org.tr ]. 
Also i think there is no need to change all LC_ALL settings to C and revert 
back, this makes overhead. Changing LC_CTYPE is enough to fix dll loading in 
under Turkish locale [ also does not affects other locales ]. 

P.S: I'm still reading this thread on webmail, so i dont know it was 
discussed before or not...
