Theres a number of these posts but this is to verify it's existance.
OSX 10.3.7 is the medium it's being tested on.

The program works fine for a while then when left running for
any duration it goes silly and asian codeset appears instead of say the default
english in my case.

Upon restarting beit complete power down or just program close then restart.

Regardless once the fault appears it stays it's an intermittant bug
sometimes it will stay fine but mostly it decides to go stupid on me.

Everything else is fine eg the text in the email and the rest of the programs
toolbars etc etc it's only the dates text  in that seperation bar that goes loopy.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.start & Leave thunderbird alone for a few hours let it idle
2.Let it recieve traffic and wait for the magical change
3.Pop your toast is ready ! You now have asian characters appearing
in the date seperators yet everything else stays fine Hmmm O.K interesting.
Restarting fixes it momentarilly but it will strike again without fail.

Actual Results:  
The dates that various emails come in will be in asian or some other codeset.
Yet the the rest of the emails and program remain unaffected.



Expected Results:  
stayed in english in my case
