Oh - by the way - I did trace through _nl_intern_locale_data while the test was
executing and it loaded the LC_CTYPE category several times, with varying numbers
of items, but in every case, item 82 (which I think is named _NL_CTYPE_EXTRA_MAP_12
according to langinfo.h) was considered to be of type "word" according to the
test I noted above,
     if (__builtin_expect (_nl_value_types[category][cnt] == word, 0))
so, regardless of whether this test was referencing the static array of
categories or some trickily-loaded dynamic array, it seems incorrect that the
testcase is accessing that value as though it was a string pointer.

I would add that it seems undesirable to me to resort to this kind of trickery
of accessing dynamically-loaded areas as though they were static, as it makes it
hard to debug with a conventional debugger.
