Worked for me, *only after* I set LANG to "en" (I figure setting either
LANG or LC_CTYPE to C may also work)

Currently on my system:

LANG=he
LC_CTYPE="he"
LC_NUMERIC="he"
LC_TIME="he"
LC_COLLATE="he"
LC_MONETARY="he"
LC_MESSAGES="he"
LC_PAPER="he"
LC_NAME="he"
LC_ADDRESS="he"
LC_TELEPHONE="he"
LC_MEASUREMENT="he"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="he"
LC_ALL=

(that is: LANG is set to "he" and everything else is set from it), there
is also a valid /usr/share/locales/he which is actually he_IL.ISO-8859-8

Maybe this is it?
