Yeah, I am now by default putting LANG=C in my .bashrc
You can also switch the language to en_US in /etc/sysconfig/i18n and
reboot; this will make ALL of your applications go back to en_US instead
of UTF-8.
Turns out the problem with man is ultimately caused by a bash bug in
dealing with environment variables, or at least that's what it looks
like from the various bugzilla bugs...
This is a peril of a *.0 release from Red Hat...
