locale settings broken

On my solaris 8 machine I get the following:

root@shanghai:~# locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_ALL=

but if I check the /etc/default/init I get this

root@shanghai:~# cat /etc/default/init
# @(#)init.dfl 1.5 99/05/26
#
# This file is /etc/default/init. /etc/TIMEZONE is a symlink to this
file.
# This file looks like a shell script, but it is not. To maintain
# compatibility with old versions of /etc/TIMEZONE, some shell
constructs
# (i.e., export commands) are allowed in this file, but are ignored.
#
# Lines of this file should be of the form VAR=value, where VAR is one
of
# TZ, LANG, CMASK, or any of the LC_* environment variables.
#
TZ=US/Eastern
CMASK=022
LC_COLLATE=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_MONETARY=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_TIME=en_US.ISO8859-1

Can someone please tell me why this is changing?
Nothing on the system has changed this (that I know of). Has anyone
experienced this problem before?
