in english

so, yes, this does explain  why it does not fail;

but then the next QTSNBA is 

??) why does it show in english in this amd64 box, whereas

$ env | grep it
LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
GDM_LANG=it_IT.UTF-8

$ locale
LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="it_IT.UTF-8"

LC_PAPER="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

$ locale -a
C
POSIX
it_IT.utf8

here is what I tried yesterday 
(I am reenacting it now to show the sequence)

$ date
mar gen 16 10:52:46 CET 2007
$ unset LANG ; unset GDM_LANG 
$ date
Tue Jan 16 10:52:56 CET 2007
$ iceape -calendar
(fails)
