Couldn't set locale correctly

When a user connects via ssh to one of out Sun V120 boxes the following message is displayed.

"couldn't set locale correctly"

The .profile has the following line

# @(#)local.profile 1.6 98/02/06 SMI

stty istrip
stty erase ^H

So I put a set -x in the .profile and re sourced it and then got the following output.

PGW-A$ . ./.profile
+ stty istrip
+ stty erase ^H
+ couldn't set locale correctly

All the env variables seem to get exported ok, does anyone know;
1 if this is just an annoying message or telling me something more serious?
2 How to remedy the problem?

Cheers
Matt

i dont use istrip when doing personal profile mods.

i use ksh as my default shell.

the only things in my profile are:

Code:
[qgatu003]/export/home/user1$cat .profile
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin; export PATH
MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/share/man:/usr/perl5/man; export MANPATH
EDITOR=vi; export EDITOR
set -o vi
stty erase
