Strange error after M-x package-list-packages

Strange error after M-x package-list-packages

[Mateusz B]

Hi,

my Emacs 24.1 installation was running fine until the following error 
started showing every time I did M-x package-list-packages:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Invalid hash table rehash size" 1.0)
   eval-buffer(#<buffer  *load*> nil 
"/home/mateusz/emacs/emacs-24.2/lisp/finder-inf.el" nil t)  ; Reading at 
buffer position 38650
load-with-code-conversion("/home/mateusz/emacs/emacs-24.2/lisp/finder-inf.el" 
"/home/mateusz/emacs/emacs-24.2/lisp/finder-inf.el" t t)
   require(finder-inf nil t)
   package-list-packages(nil)
   call-interactively(package-list-packages t nil)
   execute-extended-command(nil)
   call-interactively(execute-extended-command nil nil)

I downloaded and compiled 24.2 version to check if it occurs there and 
it was there, right after compilation (and /src/emacs -Q). The bottom of 
traces are a bit different actually, my normal installation runs smex, 
but above everything is the same. What could it be? What to do now?

Thanks in advance,
Earendil

  Got it. It was because I switch to my native, Polish locale. It uses 
commas instead of periods in numbers. But why Emacs is sensitive to it?

I tried running with -nw option and it works then. I've recently added a few new fonts -- could it possibly break Emacs?
