Yeah, but now that we've rewritten the vtim.c code to not be locale
dependent, that's sort of pointless ?

Right, but then we'll tackle it in that context, it doesn't belong
in m00020 any more.

By all means use it to find such trouble!   I just don't see the point
in adding it to the vmod on a permanent basis, unless we have code
we specifically need to test.

(Remember: Not all machines may have any given locale installed...)
