            Description

            When bug API-24 was fixed it exposed a larger bug - if you change the stringmgr then the old localemgr gets deleted which deletes old locales.

            This means that a versekey that is created before the stringmgr is changed will have an invalid locale and will reference an invlaid pointer and probably cause a crash.

            As a workaround for 1.5.8 we don't set the default locale to LANG anymore but leave it as the hard-coded default en_US. It is up to the frontends to set the default locale if they want to.

            We need to discuss on sword-devel how exactly we want to solve this.

            Assigning to Joachim for 1.5.40 because StringMgr is his code.
