I tried more stuff and found out, that the LC_NUMERIC-item is responsible for 
the behaviour. Perhaps someone could have a look at this issue? A . vs. , 
representation of float-values?!

Anyway, in current trunk it seems to be solved though. I would like to 
backport it to 0.11.0 if possible, but I cannot find out where to start 
digging for that. Perhaps some with more knowledge could help?

Best
