I see the same behavior if setting LANG=C Maybe you don't have the en_US.UTF-8 locale properly installed? Or FreeBSD is expecting a different capitalization? Of course, ensure that you don0t have another, more specific, LC_* variable overriding it. I would also check TERM just in case, albeit it doesn't seem to affect this. Regards
