I think the problem comes from having LANG="C" but
LC_CTYPE="iso_8859_1". Try setting your LANG environment variable in
/etc/environment to something that uses iso-8859-1 (en_US, en_UK, and
most? western European languages). The iso-8859-1 character set defines
twice as many characters as "C" (ASCII), and uses 8-bit encoding as
opposed to 7-bit for ASCII.
