Removing 'Defaults env_reset' is very insecure.

Adding 'Defaults env_keep = "LANG"' should work on systems where LANG is the
only actually used locale variable.

If you're using more locale-related environment variables, try if adding all of
them helps:

Defaults env_keep = "LANG LC_ADDRESS LC_CTYPE LC_COLLATE LC_IDENTIFICATION \
LC_MEASUREMENT LC_MESSAGES LC_MONETARY LC_NAME LC_NUMERIC
\
LC_PAPER LC_TELEPHONE LC_TIME LC_ALL LANGUAGE LINGUAS"

This should now really work, even without removing 'Defaults env_reset'. It's
(a subset of) what Red Hat does.

(Note that I do _not_ the security impact of this.)
