Does Hebrew use a dot or a comma or something else as a decimal separator?
I have seen scripting errors that showed up in french and german locales where 10.5 is written as 10,5 for example.
I'm thinking this one might be a little different. We've had problems in the past with things like the filesystem and the OS being in different encodings. Before with our scripting everything was executed through the shell, so it might have hidden some additional bugs that we had there. Now we're being a little more direct.

Actually, multibyte encoding can cause segfaults. Since there can be 0's in either the left or right positions, software that is not careful can possibly encounter a null when it least expects it.
