RE: locales failure
Thanks for the suggestion, I have already reconfigured locale and it did not fix the issue. Also if you were to check
the output of locale LANG is set, my issue is with LC_ALL. I can not find out how this is set. I guess I could export
it, but not understanding how this is supposed to work, mean that could have consequences that I may not want to pay.
