I looked in /proc/$(pidof gnumeric)/environ

If I enter:

=getenv("LC_TIME")

This results in: nl_NL.UTF-8

If I enter:

=getenv("LC_ALL")

This results in N/A.

As you can see, this includes LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8 and LC_TIME=nl_NL.UTF-8.

If I set export LC_ALL=nl_NL.UTF-8 and I repeat the experiment, then I
get from =getenv("LC_ALL"): nl_NL.UTF-8. However, the issue described
remains.
