Yes, the same here. :-(

But I wonder why do you use LANG=de_DE and not LANG=de_DE.UTF-8.
I'm not sure, which one is more correct (although you'll get nice EUR
symbols instead of the string "EUR" if you use LANG=de_DE.UTF-8), but
I've read on several places on the net that de_DE.UTF-8 should be the
correct one.

Unfortunately this doesn't fix the problem.
