I think something in your application changes the global locale
(std::locale::global(); "C" by default). I believe this is a bad
idea and will lead to all kinds of breakages.

I also don't think explicitly setting "C" locale on each stream
that XSD ever creates is a good solution. It will be a performance
drag and is unnecessary in 99.9% (in the 10 years that XSD was
around you are the first person to have this problem).

I found this page has quite a bit of background information on
C and C++ locales:
