Comment 1 Rosemarie Gazzia 2000-08-04 12:57:24 UTC 
changing to lang=ja_JP.eucJP works............
Comment 2 Rosemarie Gazzia 2000-08-07 20:13:17 UTC 
...but using ja_JP.eucJP, while allowing futher progress, results in garbage 
japanese characters in summary fields...
Comment 3 Michael Fulbright 2000-11-13 16:40:47 UTC 
Passed to QA to verify against Red Hat Linux 7.0J
Comment 4 Brock Organ 2000-11-14 21:51:32 UTC 
verified the behavior above (ja_JP.ujis is listed in our docs as a supported
value) ... thanks for your report!
Comment 5 Brock Organ 2000-11-14 21:54:38 UTC 
hmmm ... in case I wasn't clear above:

both 6.2J and 7.0J fails as described above (not just 6.2J) :)
Comment 6 Matt Wilson 2001-04-03 22:56:07 UTC 
fixed in the docs of the next release.
