We need to release an update. This bug is probably going to bite
*most* users, as NLS is disabled by default. The net result is that
the following section of the "install" target won't get executed:

	${SHELL} -c "cd ${GISBASE} ; tar cBf - man | (cd ${INST_DIR} ; tar xBf - ) 2>/dev/null ; true"
	${SHELL} -c "cd ${GISBASE} ; tar cBf - include | (cd ${INST_DIR} ; tar xBf - ) 2>/dev/null ; true"
	${SHELL} -c "cd ${GISBASE} ; tar cBf - lib | (cd ${INST_DIR} ; tar xBf - ) 2>/dev/null ; true"
	${SHELL} -c "$(INSTALL) ${GISBASE}/dev/create_fifos.sh ${INST_DIR}/dev ; true"
	if [ ${XDRIVER} = fifo ] ; then \
		${SHELL} -c "${SHELL} ${SRCDIR}/src/scripts/shells/create_fifos.sh ${INST_DIR} 2>/dev/null ; true"; \
	fi
	${SHELL} -c "sed 's#'${GISBASE}'#'${INST_DIR}'#g' ${GISBASE}/etc/monitorcap > ${INST_DIR}/etc/monitorcap ; true"
	${SHELL} -c "chmod -R 1777 ${INST_DIR}/locks 2>/dev/null ; true"
	${SHELL} -c "chmod -R a+rX ${INST_DIR} 2>/dev/null ; true"

The bit regarding monitorcap and the final chmod could be critical.
