Description Chris Ricker 2002-04-06 00:53:18 EST

By default, the system created an /etc/sysconfig/i18n that looked like:

LANG="en_US.iso885915"
SUPPORTED="en_US.iso885915:en_US:en"
SYSFONT="lat0-sun16"
SYSFONTACM="iso15"

Since the .iso885915 stuff broke a lot of things, I used locale_config to switch
to en_US.  The resulting /etc/i18n file ended with a "^G", which subsequently
broke essentially all shell actions.  Removing the ^G fixed the problems.

There's a fairly similar bug filed against rh7.2, though in that one, ^Y was the
trailing character....

Whoops, never mind. Need to read the *whole* bug.
