The problem still exist with LC_ALL=C.

I get different results if I use more then one catalog:

this don't work (cut off fractional) as first catalog:
Locale          de_DE default 1
LocaleDatabase  locale
ScratchDefault  mv_locale de_DE

this work as second catalog (first one is Locale en_US):
Locale          de_DE default 1
LocaleDatabase  locale
ScratchDefault  mv_locale de_DE

this work in every situation:
Locale          en_US default 1
LocaleDatabase  locale
ScratchDefault  mv_locale de_DE

Can you please explain me that behavior?
