lib/misc.zsh overrides the local LC_CTYPE with en_US.UTF-8
If you don't have the en_US.UTF-8 locale installed then this causes errors with some programs (eg svn).
It may also affect users in other ways if they have a different locale as default but en_US.UTF-8

I have a fix for this in pull request #291; if you set the LC_CTYPE it won't be overridden by oh-my-zsh

So this just bit me again - affecting a production system (LC_CTYPE got forwarded by ssh changing the environment on the remote host, which with the legacy code there broke things in mysterious ways).

My question is why does LC_CTYPE need to be set at all? Whilst there are ways to stop ssh doing this, its not expected behaviour to have LC_CTYPE set behind the scenes (and nobody else seems to have it set).
