Thanks Handa-san for following up.

The locale command returns the following in the PCs, running
Fedora Core 6 Linux, both in the office and home.

LANG=ja_JP.eucjp
LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.eucjp
LC_NUMERIC=C
LC_TIME=C
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY=C
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_PAPER=C
LC_NAME=C
LC_ADDRESS=C
LC_TELEPHONE=C
LC_MEASUREMENT=C
LC_IDENTIFICATION=C
LC_ALL=

Those are set globally in the systems and I don't modify any of
them in Emacs.  I verified it doesn't work in both the PCs.

I'll look into it further...
