I'm _always_ interested in killing a bug ;-)
- LANG is not set in Windows (checked by "set" and "echo %LANG%" in
command prompt)
- if I set Standards and formats : back to Slovenian, I still have
LANG=C.UTF-8 !!!
I will try if there is a difference if I log off and back on, or reboot
- I don't see SFU in "Add or Remove programs", neither is there a C:\SFU folder
- I have gvim 7.2, and as mentioned, an older version of cygwin
(1.5.25), it has no LANG variable defined when started (Cygwin Bash
Shell)
