Bug Description

On Ubunutu Noble up to date with byobu 6.10-0ubuntu1

$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_TIME=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_NAME=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_ALL=

I get this error frequently when the prompt is displayed:

~$ hello
Hello, world!
bash: 1707301265,061296: value too great for base (error token is "061296")

Certainly because the decimal separator is a comma and a dot is expected.

Hi Egil, thanks for the update. The changes look reasonable enough to me, but unfortunately I don't think we will get them in immediately due to feature freeze just happening. It'd also be nice to get these changes in upstream so it's an official backport. In the meantime I built a byobu with the changes in PR#65 that you can test out if you want.

I suppose we are waiting for an upstream review on https://github.com/dustinkirkland/byobu/pull/65 before considering acting on this one?
