Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
nano prior to 1.3.12 doesn't properly support Unicode, which causes issues with FC3. (http://www.nano-editor.org/dist/v1.3/faq.html#5.3) You can workaround this by changing your locale to a non-Unicode one. FC6 (and RHEL5) have 1.3.12.
