Comment (by tonyfang):

 The problem is actually with the locale name "Norwegian
 (Bokmål)_Norway.1252" and NOT the "," decimal separator.

 In Windows, when ::setLocale is called, it is returning the name of the
 locale, "Norwegian (Bokmål)_Norway.1252", as a code-paged multi-byte
 string. However, MapGuide expects the string to be in UTF-8. Thus when it
 tries to convert it to a wide-string using a UTF8-to-UTF16 conversion
 method, it throws an exception -- which crashes the server.

 Since we aren't doing anything meaningful with that locale string anyways
 (we're just outputting it in a debug message), we can simply remove the
 code which attempts to convert that string to a wide-string.
