OMG, that looks like it.
After 2 years, I think I can start to use C&P again! I think I'm
going to cry, thank you!
I just need to make sure my environment set up correctly. I don't
know anything about localization (I'm American :-), but I will
certainly do that work.
But I would expect this to come up again and again with other
Linux-dummies like me. Whatever the different path of code inside the
VM is taken on account of this Environment variable not being set; is
there any way to have C&P follow the default expected behavior even if
LC_ALL is not set?
