	The LC_ALL environment variable takes precedence over LANG (or
	any other LC_ variables, for that matter.)  Back a decade ago,
	I’ve seen RedHat-derived distributions using LC_ALL (instead of
	LANG) to set the locale, so that could be the issue.

	My suggestion would be to use LC_ALL=C instead of a LANG
	override.

	BTW, on GNU/Linux, the ‘locale’ command helps troubleshooting
	such issues.
