Did you manually set LANG? I'm running an (US) English system and don't 
have an environment variable named LANG at all.

LANG='en_GB' does work. See /usr/share/locale/ for a list of supported 
locales. There is an 'en' directory in there, but no 'en/LC_CTYPE'. The 
manpage for setlocale explains how these files are used.
