We've seen reports of this kind before --- it appears that the locale
support in OS X 10.2.* is rather incomplete. I don't recall having
heard any similar reports concerning 10.3 though, so maybe the best
answer is an upgrade to Panther. (In the meantime though, you can
work around it as Richard suggests.)
