Now this is definitely a problem. Which locale are you running (i.e.
which language is first in "System Preferences" -> "International" ->
"Language" and which region in "Formats")? Also send me the output of
Sys.getenv("LANG") in the GUI, you should get something like:
> Sys.getenv("LANG")
LANG
"en_US.UTF-8"

This seems more like a problem in the file format - possibly
incompatible line endings?
