C> I noticed the word "locale" in the first error message. I guess the

C> setting LC_CTYPE=zh_TW.Big5 (in /etc/sysconfig/i18n).

C> If I change the setting:

C> then the problem is completely gone.

C> Given no serious flaws in my program (because I can change
C> parameter values with no problem under en_US.UTF-8), I need a help
