Core dump with bad locales directory

Bug #155611 reported by Erik Iohansson

Affects Status Importance Assigned to Milestone
glibc (Ubuntu)
Confirmed
Low
Unassigned

Bug Description

This reults in a coredump
export LOCPATH=.
mkdir -p themuffinman/LC_MESSAGES/SYS_LC_MESSAGES
LANG=C LC_MESSAGES=themuffinman ls

This when replacing the dir with a file works:
rm -r themuffinman/LC_MESSAGES/SYS_LC_MESSAGES
touch themuffinman/LC_MESSAGES/SYS_LC_MESSAGES
LANG=C LC_MESSAGES=themuffinman ls

reset everything:
rm -r themuffinman
unset LOCPATH

I'm submitting this because I'm not 100% sure where it crashes, it crashes on Red Hat EL4, Debian Stable and Ubuntu 7.10
