This may seem to disregard commit a328a50407c41d634d48c886c4c198465b817d4a.
As stated in the commit message, `setlocale()` can behave in an unexpeced
manner when an empty string (`""`) is specified as its second argument.
Such usage in `sed` program is strictly avoided by the following patch,
and there is no intention to disrespect the aforementioned commit at all.
