[boost] [lexical_cast] locale dependent result? (was: [lexical_cast] locale dependent result?)

No response on the boost.user list so I'm trying here in case the devs know: Is the result of lexical_cast<std::string> locale-dependent? One of my contributors has submitted a fix for a problem he says is caused by lexical_cast adding commas to a port number, e.g.: 65535 becomes "65,535". I'm unable to reproduce this but it may be something specific to his locale. If this is the case, what would be the correct way to get a canonical, locale-independent string from an integer? Thanks.
