This is ifdef'd out. And samba definitely changes behavior in toupper/tolower 
according to locale values -- so I am sure it does not set LC_ALL to C.

No, this does not solve the problem. It then asks for charset İSO8859-9, 
having found only charset ISO8859-9. 

The same issue with machine names, share names, user names etc. All of them 
get capitalized/lowered according to Turkish rules if locale is Turkish (or 
system default codepage in kernel is Turkish) -- which breaks anything with 
an i in it, because all current code assumes i will be capitalized to I and 
vice versa...

That's why I am asking....Currently, with usernames, machine names, share 
names and charset map file names affected, I don't see any other way than to 
put a work around in samba code.  

Why was the locale stuff ifdef'd out?
