Description

With any UTF-8 locale, tolower and toupper return null when passed an argument that is an invalid UTF-8 character. My understanding of the c standard is than any "arguments in the domain" that have no corresponding lowercase (or uppercase) letter should be returned unchanged.

Updated the test to make sure the locale changed, otherwise the tests may pass because the locale is still C.

Seems to be a bug in localedef.

Could it be that ctypes contains not all values < _CACHED_RUNES? And
the identity map will so not be complete?

for (ctn = avl_first(&ctypes); ctn; ctn = AVL_NEXT(&ctypes, ctn)) {
