+Subject: [PATCH 9/9] top: make rcfile immune from a potential locale change
+
+The delay interval is kept in the rcfile in a floating
+point format and is thus susceptible to changes in the
+locale between invocations. So values written as #,###
+could not be read if a new locale uses decimal points.
+
+This commit takes control of our own decimal point and
+will henceforth make top immune to locale switcharoos.
+
+(now that we know a '.' + 2 spaces is squeezed to one)
+(everything's perfectly justified, but it's just luck)
