Building a new catalogue, had fritzed around in the UI and variables.txt and 
cat config trying to get a different default locale to work... lo and behold 
catalogue wouldn't load with same error. 60 minutes or more later, comparing 
catalog.cfg and variables.txt etc and searching the maillists, thought I had 
'borked' the cat.  Couldn't get it too load. Identical error message.

Only thing that fixed it was to change in catalog.cfg

ifdef DEFAULT_LOCALE
DefaultLocale   en_US
endif

instead of

ifdef DEFAULT_LOCALE
DefaultLocale   __DEFAULT_LOCALE__
endif

__DEFAULT_LOCALE__  must have disappeared through some action I am yet 
unsure of.

Just thought I would post this to save anyone going through the same 
freakout!
Will bring the cat back to life.

Cheers
Simon
