Well, the log says 'LC_CTYPE: C'


Don't get confused by 'setenv LC_CTYPE: C', ncurses retrieves the value by 
calling

        setlocale( LC_CTYPE, NULL );

and then explicitly sets $LC_CTYPE.


And the encodig is also based on LC_CTYPE via 'nl_langinfo(CODESET)'



I'd say your LC_CTYPE is C and not de_DE.UTF-8.
