Description:
------------
If the localization that is set by setlocale has non ISO-8859-1 characters strftime destroys these.
Reproducable on both Fedora Core 5 and Windows 2003 Enterprise Server tested for 2 languages (Spanish / Turkish)

Reproduce code:
---------------
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');

setlocale(LC_TIME,"spanish");
echo strftime("%d %B %Y %A",strtotime("2006-10-28"))."<br>";
setlocale(LC_TIME,"turkish");
echo strftime("%d %B %Y %A",strtotime("2006-10-26"))."<br>";
echo strftime("%d %B %Y %A",strtotime("2006-10-25"))."<br>";


Expected result:
----------------
28 octubre 2006 s?bado
26 Ekim 2006 Per&#351;embe
25 Ekim 2006 ?ar&#351;amba

Actual result:
--------------
28 octubre 2006 s&#6305;do
26 Ekim 2006 Per?r>25 Ekim 2006 &#481;r?r>

5.2 snapshot solved the issue on linux, but problem still exists for windows.

Somehow setlocale sets output encoding of strftime. Following works as a temporary solution for window env.

iconv("ISO-8859-9","UTF-8",strftime("%d %B %Y %A",strtotime("2006-10-26")));

strftime() behaves depending in the OS. As far as I can see it's not even a bug and it's just how Windows handles locales and selects utf8 when it feels like.
