The only thing that I can think of is LANG. Is it set different
between them? I had a problem like this on Solaris 2.5.1 with CDE. If
LANG was not set to some legal values, I was getting core dumps...

I get the same message. I recompiled X to use X's locale
support. kterm still does not work. I tried to recompile it, but I'm
getting loads of errors...

I thought that X locales and glibc's where separate. Thats why I went
to the trouble of re0compiling X, because from what I understand,
glibc does not yet support Japanese. More to the point, there aren't
any locales for Japanese under /usr/share/locale. Are these available
with the jrpm release? If so, can your point me at 'em?

Thanks,
