What has changed and/or how to control

[Ed Greshko]

I've not run into this before....so I'm baffled.

On my F17 system I get this, and it is what I expect.

[egreshko at meimei ~]$ 八
bash: 八: command not found...

However, on my F18 test VM I get this.

[egreshko at localhost ~]$ 八
bash: $'\345\205\253': command not found

Which is, of course, the Unicode value for 八.

What has changed in a default install for that to happen?  And what needs to be changed?  locale is the same on both systems.
