The key file you need is LC_CTYPE, which tells the isalpha() and other
ctype functions what characters are letters, etc.  As you're using de_DE
as the locale, the directory to check is /usr/share/locale/de_DE.  If the
LC_CTYPE file and all the rest are not there, do you have any other locale
directories that do have these files?  (preferably a western European or
North American locale, to use the ISO-8859-1 character set)  If you can
find a working locale, give it a try.  If you can't, you'll need to get
the locale source files and try to build a working locale on your system,
which may work as long as your C library correctly supports locales.  Some
systems are just hopelessly broken though.
