Work around problem with concurrent-output when in a non-unicode locale by avoiding use of it in such a locale.
Instead -J will behave as if it was built without concurrent-output support
in this situation. Ie, it will be mostly quiet, except when there's an
error.
Note that it's not a problem for a filename to contain invalid utf-8 when
in a utf-8 locale. That is handled ok by concurrent-output. It's only
displaying unicode characters in a non-unicode locale that doesn't work.
