------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 With Spanish locale (es_ES.UTF-8), GRASS 7.0 RC1 doesn't launch. I have
 launched it perfectly in the same installation with locale en_US-UTF-8.
 The problem is happening since beta 4.0.

 CONF:

 {{{
 Linux Mint 17.1
 $ locale | grep LANG
 LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
 }}}

 TERMINAL OUTPUT:
