It appears that test__locale was not reseting the locale after its tests. This patch (simplistically) saves and then restores the locale.

I was just working on the same bug yesterday. I produced a
mostly similar patch: I just wrapped the block from
'saw_locale' to 'raise ImportError' in a try: finally: block
and used LC_NUMERIC instead of LC_ALL. See
http://python.org/sf/1008588.
