Strange behaviour of Str$

My application was running on an XP SP2 machine, with the regional
settings set to give a "." as the decimal separator.

I went into the control panel, and changed the settings to a ","
decimal separator, while the app was running.

At that point, I got an error which looks like it was caused by Str$
returning a number like 2.94 as "2,94". This code runs on a regular
timer, and the error only occured once. It also doesn't occur if you
switch regions with the app shut down.

Is this known behaviour?
