This is different from what has been fixed already. The problem is, that the
Log class uses strftime() to output the log time. This function depends on
the current set locale.

We might be able to fix this by switching the locale to 'C' before logging a
message and restore the original locale after that. But this is perhaps
better fixed in the Log class. Jon?
