Well, where are you seeing the problem? Ncurses, for instance, works properly in a local gnome-terminal, xterm, and the system consoles. If you're seeing the problem on a remote terminal emulator, then you need to tell your terminal emulator that the RHL system is using a UTF-8 character set. When you tell your term the correct character set, ncurses (among other things) will display properly. If you're having a problem with some hokey application spitting out 8 bit characters on the system console, hoping that they'll form some fruity graphics, then maybe those applications need to be updated to UTF-8. In either of those cases, what you're seeing isn't a bug. It's a change that will be the case for future releases. The old, bad, behavior can be had by setting LANG to en_US in /etc/sysconfig/i18n.
