help with understanding a BASH warning

[bob 295]

I want to understand what this warning is all about.    If I understand things 
"setlocale" is a function in the C library.   Since I'm not running any C 
code,  I'm assuming that the BASH interpreter itself is calling this function 
to set its locale.    Why the warning?   

Thanks in advance for your help.
