Comment 28 for bug 1662531

attached is a proposed patch for the crash that occurred in comments 7 and 8. The crash is apparently caused by the fact that the spawned instance of Inkscape does not have a valid locale associated with it. This problem applies only to the spawned instance, not the original.
   The patch uses an alternative definition of the locale, which does exist, and which avoids the crash.
   Any comments would be welcome, since I do not know what the recommended way of defining a locale is.
