No.  See:  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=69900
and related bugzilla entries.

Unicode is the culprit.  The cure is to do one of:

   export LC_ALL=C
   export LANG=c
   edit /etc/sysconfig/i18n and remove .UTF-8 from the LANG setting

I'm adding 'export LC_ALL=C' at the top of every shell script and in
root's .bashrc on every box I administer.
