Something like that:

// save the current locale
 prev_locale = setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, NULL);
 prev_locale = dupstring(setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, NULL));
setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "POSIX");

<reader code here>

// Restore locale
setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, prev_locale);
if(prev_locale)
{
 setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, prev_locale);
}

I don't think bug 5891 is relevant as it elimitates the use of
interpretation of text into numerical values.
Patch in bug 1431 was using the selocale() function (as above).
