The patch I proposed has a big problem with the availability of the used 
locales. I am preparing a more solid solution with a backend (system) 
locale setting in the install tool which can be used as needed by BE 
functions. This way an admin can configure the locale which is right for 
the system and which is available.

I will still use a safe construction by saving and restoring the old 
setting around the escapeshellarg() call.
