Matt,

Take a look in /etc/sysconfig/i18n.  I had the same problem and my solution 
was to comment out all the LC_xxx= lines by putting a # at the beginning of 
each.  I also had to add an empty definition for LC_ALL, i.e. "LC_ALL=".

That seemed to cure the problem for me.  I can't tell you what SHOULD be in 
the file, just what worked for me.  If you learn more about this problem, 
or discover the proper settings for the other LC_xxx symbols, please let me 
know.

Cheers!

David
