My OS is Linux Fedora Core 5 with the latest updates. Bash is my shell of

There are a lot of diffs between the "me" and "cron" environments, but the
only ones that stand out are:

cron: $LANG="", $POSIXLY_CORRECT=y
me: $LANG=en_US.UTF-8, $POSIXLY_CORRECT=""

Are the LOCALE the same?

As me, I set and exported both to look like cron's but it made no
difference.

How - if you are running a GUI login (look at your runlevel in /etc/inittab)
you have to remember that the GUI is your login shell, and thus the normal
Bash login scripts (/etc/profile and friends, ~/.bash_profile and such)
do not get run. You would set your environmental stuff in the user's GUI
startup scripts. Which one depends on which GUI you are using. See
/etc/inittab and the output of 'ps afuwx' for clues, and then grab the
man page.

This is just one of those strange interactions that has to be researched
deeper.

They're just trying to keep you on your toes.

If I get the poop on this I'll post it.

You might have more luck in comp.os.linux.misc as this really isn't a mail
problem.
