>Description:
	
	putwc doesn't seem to work. At least not the way I'd expect
	it to work (the way I expect it to work is how it works on
	Solaris).

	The following program shows that putwc does not prints
	out the character literally rather than first converting
	it to a multibyte representation (CODESET).

#include <wchar.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <locale.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    wchar_t wc[20], *wp;

    setlocale(LC_ALL, "");
    puts("");
    mbstowcs(wc, "Español", 20);
    for (wp = wc; *wp; ++wp) {
	putwc(*wp, stdout);
    }
    puts("");
    fflush(stdout);
}

	This is the typescript:

Script started on Wed May 30 18:07:55 2001

skimo@pool:/tmp > ../testwc


Español

skimo@pool:/tmp > eexit


Script done on Wed May 30 18:08:00 2001

	These are my locale settings at the time of running the program:

skimo@pool:/tmp > locale
LANG=POSIX
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8

>How-To-Repeat:
	
	Compile and run the above program in the given locale.
>Fix:
