Hi,

I have no idea about the change that made this bug, but it should only add
to the .grassrc6 file on demand, not by default. Whatever is falling over
because that is not set should initially set itself to "LANG: C" internally
as the default, and be able to deal with older mapsets where it was not
set.

aka don't put some kind of default in there just as an easy fix, instead
fix whatever can't deal with the value being missing to safely cope with
that situation.

what version of 6.4? 6.4.3svn only? or is it in 6.4.2 too?

thanks,
Hamish
