2339	mc is not using graphical characters when running on osx (ssh connections)	sorin		"I discovered that when I do ssh to a machine using OS X 10.6 and use mc I do not see the graphical line drawing characters.

This does not happen if I open terminal and start mc.

I'm connecting using putty configured to use xterm-color, configuraton that works just fine if I do ssh to a linux machine.

The mc from OS X is version 4.7.0 (installed using macports).

The environment shows TERM=xterm-color in both cases Terminal.app and ss but mc looks different.

The only difference I was able to identify between the ssh connection and the local Terminal.app was regarding what locale returns:

On ssh (when mc fails to draw the graphical characters)
LANG=
LC_COLLATE=""C""
LC_CTYPE=""C"" <== on Terminal.app this is LC_CTYPE=""UTF-8"" 
LC_MESSAGES=""C""
LC_MONETARY=""C""
LC_NUMERIC=""C""
LC_TIME=""C""
LC_ALL=

This looks like a bug in mc.
