Same here, but they didn't make any difference for me. Admittedly,
before I started digging into the `?' problem, I didn't know anything
about locales and I still don't.

Are you using `export' in your .bashrc? From bash(1):

"Executed commands inherit the environment. The
 export and declare -x commands allow parameters 
 and functions to be added to and deleted from 
 the environment."

So this is what I have:

export LANG="en_US"
export LC_CTYPE="en_US"
export LC_NUMERIC="en_US"
export LC_TIME="en_US"
export LC_COLLATE="en_US"
export LC_MONETARY="en_US"
export LC_MESSAGES="en_US"
export LC_PAPER="en_US"
export LC_NAME="en_US"
export LC_ADDRESS="en_US"
export LC_TELEPHONE="en_US"
export LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US"
export LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US"
export LC_ALL="en_US"
