I try to switch back locale settings to de_DE@euro (which was my setting
once I run into this trouble - tried to change afterwards to de_DE.UTF-8@euro).
I can't remember exactly what happened and try to describe it as detailed
as possible.

After I was setting locale to de_DE.UTF-8@euro the situation became even worse.
MidnightCommander is a real mess and ssh to other hosts shows several trouble.

I have to verify this at home this evening.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
