+       init.sh: run tr in the "C" locale to avoid multibyte interpretation
+       * tests/init.sh (rand_bytes_): Run tr in the "C" locale so it does
+       not try to interpret its random input bytes.  Jarno Rajahalme reported
+       that ./test-xalloc-die.sh would fail with "tr: Illegal byte sequence".
+       on Darwin 10.3.0 with LC_CTYPE=UTF-8.
+       (mktempd_): Likewise, just in case.

        ftruncate: add two years to projected module removal date: 2012
