I experienced the same problem and emailed the Mathematica support team
about this, who gave me this answer:
After the lines
"# Make certain that ${PATH} includes /usr/bin and /bin
PATH="/usr/bin:/bin:${PATH}"
add
LANG=C
export LANG
in your mathematica (/usr/local/mathematica in most cases) startup script.
