system-config-printer.py crashed with Error in setlocale() in Hardy 8.04 64bit

This bug has reappeared in Hardy 8.04 64bit.
It was first reported as bug #89122 in 2007 and then fixed only to be broken again in Hardy.

To replicate the problem edit /etc/default/locale
and add a locale setting from a different locale.

I am using Ubuntu with English language but as I live in Finland I want the week to start with a Monday rather than a Sunday so I added the LC_TIME parameter.

LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME=fi_FI.UTF8

If I remove the LC_TIME parameter then everything works fine.
As soon as I add any locale parameter with fi_FI.UTF8 then the problem is back.

This bug is not present in Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 32bit

Update.
This does not seem to be a bug after all.

The locale fi_FI was missing from the file /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local

The file should look like this:
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
fi_FI.UTF-8 UTF-8

After adding the fi_FI locale to supported locales I ran:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

Restarted X and now system-config-printer works just fine.

Closing then.
