Brand away; it's not so different after all.

% The tricky thing is that I don't have $LAND or $LC_ALL set at all:

%   bash-2.05a$ echo $LANG

%   bash-2.05a$ echo $LC_ALL

I neglected to check $LC_CTYPE and $LC_COLLATE, both of which were set to
en_US.ISO8859-1, which certainly explains the sort order.

The fix for me was to either set LANG and/or LC_ALL to POSIX or unset
LC_CTYPE and/or LC_COLLATE.  In either case, it will mean a change for
our users, so we'll have to fall back and figure out how to best implement
that, no doubt learning what each of the LC_* vars mean along the way :-)
