Actually, it works with values of $LANG other than "C", like "en".   I
didn't realize that split's output was localized. :)

Yep, that's good for now.

I'll see if I can find another way to do this; maybe I can find a way
to set the local to C or en for any program I execute, just so the
execution environment is consistent.

Thanks for the report and the workaround.
