New issue 594 by buggood: RobotFramework 2.5 does not support encoding "c",
which is default for some platforms
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=594
Robot Framework throws an exception at runtime when encoding "C" is set on
the machine (LANG=C)
Following is a stack trace:

File "workspace/target/robotframework-2.5/robot/utils/encoding.py", line
29, in encode_output
return string.encode(_output_encoding, errors)
LookupError: unknown encoding 'c'
To reproduce:
1. export LANG=C
2. run robot tests
Note: if LANG environment variable is unset, problem is not reproduced
Details on robot version:
Robot Framework 2.5 (Python 2.6.1 on darwin)
