Public bug reported:
When LC_MESSAGES is anything but LC_MESSAGES=C, LC_MESSAGES=C.utf8 or
LC_MESSAGES=POSIX, the help on built-in command is getting garbled with
MIME headers.
Reproducing:
# Install bash-builtins
sudo apt install bash-builtins
# Enable one of available builtin
enable -f dsv dsv
# Display help about loadable builtin dsv
help dsv
Get garbled result
