In the log we have:

  + LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8 sort --debug -k2g -k1b,1
  sort: text ordering performed using ‘fr_FR.UTF-8’ sorting rules
  sort: note numbers use ‘.’ as a decimal point in this locale

The fact that ',' isn't used as the decimal point is surprising,
and is what's causing the test to fail.
The attached adds an extra guard to the test to skip this portion
if ',' is not in fact the decimal point.

cheers,
Pádraig
