Thanks for the quick response to:
Rainer Heilke
Eugene Schmidt
Kris Briscoe
Rainer and Eugene were right on the money.
This had nothing to do with the patch upgrade, just coincidence and probably
has been this way except no one paid attention until after the upgrade.
Problem was my locale settings are different on my systems. Some have LOCALE
settings in /etc/default/init ie;
LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_TIME=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_COLLATE=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_MONETARY=en_US.ISO8859-1
Others have no LOCALE variable setting which defaults to:
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
This changes the way the ls command displays a listing. Learn something new
everyday.
Thanks again.

Are you sure that's the only change that happened? The symptoms sound
like a change in the locale from English (us_en, or something like that)
to C (which is typically the default Locale). Try explicitly setting
your locale.
