[Rd] Sys.setlocale upsets windows graphics device (PR#8887)

[edward.m at psu.ac.th]

Hi,
We tried it on 3 separate windows XP computers using version 2.3.0.
The original locale is set for Thailand on all 3.
So how do we fix it? Is there another patch?
And why does the crash not happen with earlier R versions (eg. 2.2.1) on the 
same computer?

"LC_COLLATE=Thai_Thailand.874;LC_CTYPE=Thai_Thailand.874;LC_MONETARY=Thai_Thailand.874;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=Thai_Thailand.874"

Thanks
Edward
