+From 601e631cd8cee11260b701adab13c96a8bd82e29 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
+Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2016 13:03:01 +0000
+Subject: Fix locale macro loading for Chinese
+
+The intent was always that we should load the macro file corresponding
+to just the language part of the page's locale, and the debug output
+agreed with this, but the actual implementation did not.  Fix this.
+
+See: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?44941
+
+* src/man.c (display): Pass bits.language rather than page_lang to
+locale_macros.  Adjust memory allocation.
+
