That's a shortcoming of Tramp which should only use LC_ALL=C for commands whose output is parsed by Tramp but not for those whose output is passed to the caller. Then again, we may have the problem of choosing between the caller's locale and the remote host's default locale, I don't know. In any case it's probably not a terribly important problem for now, but should be kept somewhere as a thing that would be nice to fix. Stefan
