You can eradicate the scourge of UTF-8 by sticking this in your .bashrc (assuming you use bash): # Redhat is fooling themselves if they think UTF8 actually functions well # all the time (or even any of the time)... # unset LANG unset LC_ADDRESS unset LC_CTYPE unset LC_COLLATE unset LC_IDENTIFICATION unset LC_MEASUREMENT unset LC_MESSAGES unset LC_MONETARY unset LC_NAME unset LC_NUMERIC unset LC_PAPER unset LC_TELEPHONE unset LC_TIME unset LC_ALL LC_ALL='POSIX' export LC_ALL Its in my .bashrc and things work ever so much better without UTF-8 :-).
