[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 53561] Extra "dot" in console output while executing a mono program

[Ricardo Pérez López]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mono-jit

I write a "Hello, world" application in C#:

class HelloWorld {
        static void Main(string[] args) {
                System.Console.WriteLine("Hello, world");
        }
}

I name it "helloworld.cs". Then I compile it:

ricardo at yuggoth:~/Mono $ mcs helloworld.cs
ricardo at yuggoth:~/Mono $

And then I execute it:

ricardo at yuggoth:~/Mono $ mono helloworld.exe
.Hola, mundo
ricardo at yuggoth:~/Mono $

It shows a "dot" before the program output. (The actual "dot" is not
".", but a "centered" dot; I can't reproduce it here, sorry.)

Curiously, changing the locale from "es_ES.UTF-8" to "es_ES", the
problem don't appears:

ricardo at yuggoth:~/Mono $ LANG=es_ES
ricardo at yuggoth:~/Mono $ mono helloworld.exe
Hola, mundo
ricardo at yuggoth:~/Mono $ LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
ricardo at yuggoth:~/Mono $ mono helloworld.exe
.Hola, mundo
ricardo at yuggoth:~/Mono $
