As the working user and as root run env and compare so you know exactly
what differences you're looking for.

Then check both the user's and root's .bash*, but also check the
/etc/bash.bashrc and /etc/provfile in case there's any logic in those
that looks at the user (as it does to set the prompt).  The system's
default locale is set under /etc/default.
