This is a known bug in 0.57.  I made a trivial brown paper bagish
error just before release.  It has been fixed and another release is
planned shortly.  For now you can only reload saved files while in
the C locale.  No information has been lost.

If you would like to patch the problem locally have a look in
    src/xml-io.c
In all the locations that we toggle LC_NUMERIC we also need to
toggle LC_MONETARY.

Good Luck,
