I'm not sure you want to set LANG to this.
LANG is used as default if the corresponding LC_* isnt' set. LC_ALL has the
same role and takes precedence over LANG.

LANG is also used by the XPG3 nls system, hence some confusion.

What you need here is to set LC_CTYPE to en_US.ISO8859-1 and unset LANG.
