xterm -lc fails to start

Hello.

I have the el_GR [non UTF-8] locale set, and I cannot start xterm with the -lc switch.
Actually, xterm does start, but fails to reach the bash promt for some reason.

Any idea on that ?

Re: xterm -lc fails to start

I have exactly same problem. My locales are:

LANG=cs_CZ.ISO-8859-2
LC_CTYPE=cs_CZ.ISO-8859-2

And I use this font for XTerm in .Xdefaults:

XTerm*faceName: DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Roman
XTerm*faceSize: 10
XTerm*boldFont: DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Roman

If I start xterm without "-lc", localized characters are crippled. But I can't start it with "-lc", because it fails to reach the bash prompt.
Other terminals (I have tried Konsole, rxvt-unicode and aterm) works without problems.
