#15066 — command "cat /etc/localtime" breaks output on tty-terminal

OS: Arch Linux 5.1.12-arch1-1-ARCH (tty1)
Bash-Version: 5.0.7(1)-release
localization: de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8
keymap: de-latin1-nodeadkeys

Description:
The command "cat /etc/localtime" was called in a tty-terminal. After that some characters will be printed incorrectly (mostly "cyrillic" chars instead of the correct ones). The typed chars seems to be handled correctly (e.g. calling "exit") but the output is broken at this point. This behaviour is reproducible on my other PC with Debian Stable (Bash-Version in Debian: 4.4-5), so it seems to be a old bug. Changing to another tty or rebooting the OS will fix this behaviour until the command is called again.

Kind regards,
bitfreak
