Completely unusable date input in RHEL 6

Hi,

we have gnucash 2.4.15 in EPEL 6 (EPEL is community supported set of
packages for RHEL 6), but when I have suggested it to my wife, it was
complete flop. She just cannot for anything in the world enter any date
in the ledger. I have found
http://www.gnucash.org/docs/v2.4/C/gnucash-guide/txns-shortcuts1.html
for her, but it doesn't work. She has cs_CZ locale, and whatever she
does all her dates end in some weird date in the late nineteenth
century. Even when she just presses T to get today (that's 1.2.2014
now), it converts to 29.11.1898 when I press TAB to get from the Date
column. The similar weird date in 1898 happen when I press [ { or any
other date-moving key shortcut. When I run gnucash like

$ LANG=en_IE.utf8 gnucash

I get everything working correctly. I guess we have in RHEL-6 some
library in an obsolete version. Could anybody suggest which library it
is and how to get gnucash working even with cs_CZ.utf8 locale?

Best,

Matěj Cepl
