$ locale
LANG=nl_NL.utf8
LC_CTYPE="nl_NL.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="nl_NL.utf8"
LC_TIME=POSIX
LC_COLLATE=POSIX
LC_MONETARY="nl_NL.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="nl_NL.utf8"
LC_PAPER="nl_NL.utf8"
LC_NAME="nl_NL.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="nl_NL.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="nl_NL.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="nl_NL.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="nl_NL.utf8"
LC_ALL=

But it also does this when using LC_ALL=en_GB.utf8 (see attached 
snapshot), or any other utf8 locale.  And also when using LC_ALL=C.
