That did the trick. I appreciate it.
Just for the documentation of it all -- I messed up by
putting my language setting under the "default:"
catagory in /etc/login.conf.
I needed to ALSO create a separate "me:" catagory like
so:
me:\
:tc=default:
I suppose the real moral to the story is: be very
careful what you overwrite during mergemaster. It's my
guess that I overwrote /etc/login.conf at some point
when my eyes were glassed over.
