On both systems, LC_COLLATE/LC_CTYPE/LANG are set to en_US.UTF-8

In Java,FWIW, I get the Mac answer if I use String.compareTo and the 
Linux answer if I use Collator.compareTo, but the result is consistent 
on Mac and Linux.

So this is probably related to the fact that the Linux system in 
question answers "ICU not in use" whereas the Mac answers "root"?
