Got it. A workaround is to define a globalsub for Autoload on each
locale:

Locale	nl_NL   Autoload   update_pbase
Locale	fr_FR   Autoload   update_pbase

GlobalSub <<EOS
sub update_pbase {
	Vend::Data::update_productbase();
	return;
}
EOS

That should get 90% of it, but I have also put fixes in both the stable
and development CVS. They should make 4.6.1, which is imninent.

Thanks for doing the work to find this, Ton. Your list of credits in the
code is mounting...8-)
