JDK Version: 1.2fcs-O
OS: Solaris 2.7
Locale: zh.GBK

zh_CN is the locale name for PRC in JDK

In recent builds of jdk1.2, in Solaris zh locale, Locale.getDefault() will
return zh_CN which is consistent with Windows platform. But in Solaris 2.7
zh.GBK locale, Locale.getDefault() will return zh not zh_CN, then many
locale-senstive classes got wrong functions for JDK will look for some
resource from zh not zh_CN.
GBK and gb2312 is just two encodings for zh_CN (java) locale.
while in solaris 2.7, we can use setenv LANG command to set the default
encoding, such as: (zh_CN is the locale name for PRC in JDK)
setenv LANG zh.GBK we will get GBK as the default encoding for zh_CN.
setenv LANG zh we will get gb2312 as the default encoding for zh_CN
