I know how to fix it; UTF-8 means it never happens to begin with.  It's
something that should go away completely with the UTF-8 transition.
Leaving it on in the meantime doesn't hurt, as long as it's configurable.
(It doesn't matter to me; I don't use X, and my terminal emulator handles
this the way I prefer.)
