Hmm, all I had to do on my slink system was:
cd /usr/lib/X11
ln -s locale.xlib6-old locale
In fact, a diff -r showed the "old" locale directory from a
Debian 2.0 system to be identical to the new locale.xlib6-old directory.
Thus the link.
Just setting the XNLSPATH environment variable to the old
directory didn't work, for some reason.
