解决了一个疑难杂症

gentoo在启动过程中，很久以前就看到这样一条信息：

sort: sort.c:717: inittables_mb: Assertion `mblength != (size_t)-1 && mblength != (size_t)-2' failed.

因为一直没碰到啥明显问题，也就没管它。直到昨天，碰到了MS很严重的问题，emerge不工作了，emerge总会出来下面的信息：

>>> Source compiled.
sort: sort.c：717：inittables_mb: 断言“mblength != (size_t)-1 && mblength != (size_t)-2”失败。

我一下就蒙掉了，完全不知道怎么回事，只能仔细看这些信息。

对于sort: sort.c：717：inittables_mb: 断言“mblength != (size_t)-1 && mblength != (size_t)-2”失败。
因为开机有这个信息没有让我出啥大问题，我也就没想到从它入手，所以昨晚没有头绪，今天把这些log信息带到公司去问，得到说，可能是make.conf里面的FEATURES变量的问题，说把userpriv之类的变量去掉看看。

回家试验，还是不行，想起来早晨搜索到关于那个sort.c的错误信息，链接：http://calypso.tux.org/pipermail/xemacs-beta/2005-January/004283.html

看了大概，模模糊糊的，那就寻找关键部分了：I remember a bug report concerning "sort" where "sort" aborted when LC_TIME and LC_CTYPE were set to locales with different encodings

看样是这两个变量不一样的时候会出现那个问题，好吧，那就改改吧，关于locale的知识在我前面的文字里面有写。

还解决了个小问题，在控制台下，我想使用英文的locale，在KDE起来后想用中文的locale，这样，在控制台的时候就不会出现那些？？？？了找找在X启动时候的脚本在哪儿呢，后来发现在root下的.xinitrc里面，在exec startkde之前加上export LC_CTYPE="zh_CN.gb2312"就搞定了。

修改了locale，发现emerge的问题解决了。不过，对怎么解决的还不明白，比较失败，只知道怎么解决而不懂其原理
