Well this is due to the fact that RH8 is now using UTF-8 as a system wide charset. Certain apps will not work properly if you do not change the charset back to something simpler, acroread or easyTAG to name two. You can either use $ env LANG=C <your command> or change the system-wide setting in /etc/sysconfig/i18n. For me, the first line of this file was LANG="en_GB.UTF-8". I changed it to LANG="en_GB" and rebooted and things are much better (for me anyway). although mc still seems to play up with kinsole, I am not quite shure why, but at least most other apps work fine and konsole is actually "usable" (I had reverted to xterm before I changed this setting).
