[ale] How do I get rid of these strange characters?

[James P. Kinney III]

There are several app that are using "LANG=C" while the system itself is
using "LANG=en_US.UTF-8". The only real solution is to recompile the
busted apps with the correct encoding settings (now en_US.UTF-8).

FC2 started having this issue. It caused numerous issues with text mode
processes like perl CPAN stuff.
