Doesn't look like FreeBSD's command line tools honors the
case-insensitive order with LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8 (like Solaris' does).
I'm not sure if Evo would behave any different on FreeBSD.  But if it
sorts case-insensitively on Linux and Solaris, then the bug would be
with FreeBSD in general, and not with FreeBSD GNOME.
