This didn't work either.

In fact, I tried unset-ing this and very many other env variables
before posting the question here. It seems to me that the behavior is
unrelated to any env variables. It appears as though, for some
unexplained reason, somewhere along the way, xdvi or X think they need
to change to a locale other than C.

Googling the error messages shows that ubuntu users faced a similar
problem in early 2007 (related to xdvi and xfig):

Some thought it was an xorg problem. The suggested workarounds (e.g.,
setting a LANG=C env var) don't work for me. Am I the only one that
gets this error message for xdvi on cygwin?
