    Use LANG_ENGLISH in windows error messages
    
    This change prevents us from generating corrupt messages when we
    are confused about codepage settings, and makes Windows errors
    consistent with the rest of our logs.
    
    Fixes bug 22520; bugfix on 0.1.2.8-alpha.  Patch from "Vort".
