The latest bit of whacked behaviour can be seen on RedHat 9, where if
you don't set LANG in your .profile, you get LANG=en_US.UTF-8, which
does this:

: secgw.sec; ls -lA
total 716
-r--r--r--    1 geoff    geoff       92160 2003-06-22 21:36 9wm-1.2.tar
lrwxrwxrwx    1 geoff    geoff          11 2003-06-22 20:03 .acrorc -> lib/.acrorc
lrwxrwxrwx    1 geoff    geoff           9 2003-06-22 20:18 .bash_history -> /dev/null
drwxr-xr-x    4 geoff    geoff        4096 2003-06-22 16:13 bin
-rw-------    1 geoff    geoff          16 2003-06-26 23:09 .esd_auth

-rw-rw-r--    1 geoff    geoff       24030 2003-07-01 02:13 .fonts.cache-1
-rw-rw-r--    1 geoff    geoff       99551 2003-06-25 05:07 FOOFILE
-rw-rw-r--    1 geoff    geoff      315392 2003-06-25 05:49 FOOFILE2
-rw-rw-r--    1 geoff    geoff         126 2003-06-25 05:56 FOOFILE3

different unhelpful sort order, ugly all-numeric dashed dates and ghod
only knows what other stupidity.  Luckily, adding LANG=C to your
.profile defeats this.
