byobu does not show ip address on status in ja_JP locale

[Nobuto Murata]

In ja_JP locale and on Lucid, byobu does not show ip address on status.

Because ifconfig output is translated in ja_JP locale, byobu cannot parse the output.

On Maverick or higher releases, byobu uses /sbin/ip which is not currently translated instead of ifconfig and sets LC_ALL variable when calling /sbin/ip, So those releases not affected.

Thanks for the report. Marking fix-released against the latest, and triaged against lucid.

This would necessitate a small SRU. I'll leave this opened for now, and try to knock this out as soon as I'm less busy ;-)

Cheers, and thanks!!!
