Description 
After live upgrading from snv_84 to snv_87, xterm refuses to start if the locale is no_NO.ISO8859-1@nynorsk or no_NO.ISO8859-1@bokmal. It worked fine before the upgrade.

To reproduce:

$ export LC_ALL=no_NO.ISO8859-1@nynorsk LANG=no_NO.ISO8859-1@nynorsk
$ locale
LANG=no_NO.ISO8859-1@nynorsk
LC_CTYPE=no_NO.ISO8859-1@nynorsk
LC_NUMERIC=no_NO.ISO8859-1@nynorsk
LC_TIME=no_NO.ISO8859-1@nynorsk
LC_COLLATE=no_NO.ISO8859-1@nynorsk
LC_MONETARY=no_NO.ISO8859-1@nynorsk
LC_MESSAGES=no_NO.ISO8859-1@nynorsk
LC_ALL=no_NO.ISO8859-1@nynorsk
$ /usr/openwin/bin/xterm 
Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C
