Hi Derrick,

Thank you very much for the quick reply.  Below is the output of 'locale':

jhylkema@caine-vm:~$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_TIME=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_NAME=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_ALL=

And below is the output of 'locale charmap':

jhylkema@caine-vm:~$ locale charmap
UTF-8

If I were a betting man, my money would be on the fact that LC_ALL isn't
set.  Is that environment variable set in your Debian test distro?

I will also email Nanni.

Thank you.
