I just noticed that /usr/bin/locale does return for me:
LANG=
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_ALL="C"

On MacOS X, the default posix locale is pretty much always "C", unless you change it - the expectation is that localization will be handled with a higher-level API construct (CFLocale, etc).


For compatibility reasons, if you go native using JNI from Java, (most of) the posix locales are set to an approximation of the actual system locale, but the mapping isn't exact.
