Error description

• Checking out a project+subprojects (2 levels) hierarchy using a
  GUI, java or classic client, crashes the session.
  On windows's machines or on the AIX server.
  -Checking out one project with one subproject (level 1 of
  subproject) works.
  -Checking out one project with one subproject (level 1 of
  subproject) with one sub-sub-project (level 2 of subproject)
  does not work anymore.
  --? It does not work if they don't maintain the workarea of the
  projects.
  --? It does not work if they maintain the workareas in absolute
  mode (we didn't try the relative mode)
  
   A trace of the checkout on the Classic client returned the
  following warnings from the ccm_ui.log:
  ##

  file ?stdin?, line 2458.

  A workaround was furnished in the escalation:
  Adding the 'export LC_NUMERIC='C'' in the ccm_engine fixed the
  checkout problem.
  Or use the en_US locale
