Sure, that would also work for the case that I'm seeing.

I tested the following:

# Avoid funny character set dependencies
LC_ALL=C

Though personally I would advocate tweaking the locale as needed closer
to awk scripts and the like, rather than the high-level general change that
was made. Fall-out from a high-level change seems inevitable to me.
