This fixes test _locale failing on macteagle (Mac OS 10.4 AFAIK).

Google for:  eu_ES decimal point
shows that BSD locales had the eu_ES decimal point as
a single quote (') instead of a comma (,).

This was seems to have been fixed 15 months ago, but it's not on our
Mac and presumably others.  So skip this broken locale.
