Bug related to locale changes.

I posted this to R-devel yesterday; from responses received, it appears to be OSX-specific (maybe Mavericks-specific). In an R session started from the terminal with R --vanilla, I see this:
Sys.setlocale(locale="en_CA")
[1] "en_CA/en_CA/en_CA/C/en_CA/en_CA.UTF-8"
"320" > "300"
[1] NA
"320" > "300"
[1] TRUE The first string comparison after the locale change produces NA, while later ones are fine. The locale string "en_CA" doesn't appear to matter, as long as it is different from my previous locale. Do others see this? Can we fix it before the 3.2.1 release? Duncan Murdoch
I see it too on Mavericks (local build), going back to R Under development (unstable) (2015-03-17 r67996) -- "Unsuffered Consequences" and it is even in the CRAN version (Mavericks build, I think - x86_64-apple-darwin13.1.0 (64-bit)) R version 3.1.1 (2014-07-10) -- "Sock it to Me"
