[New-bugs-announce] [issue7419] Crash in _locale.setlocale on windows

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

New submission from Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amauryfa at gmail.com>:

import _locale
_locale.setlocale(12345)

Crashes on Windows with exit code 0xc0000417, a.k.a
STATUS_INVALID_CRUNTIME_PARAMETER.
2.6 and 3.0 are not affected.

setlocale should check the category before passing it to the C runtime:
   LC_MIN <= category && category <= LC_MAX
