      I ran into the below error while running dist/s_docs, a step to cut the 11.2.0 release. This error only appears in my Ubuntu 20.04 development environment. The same command runs fine in Evergreen builds (the "s-all" task running on the ubuntu2004-small distro).

      Both my development environment and Evergreen distro have the same OS version (Ubuntu 20.04), "sort" version (8.30), and "doxygen" version (1.8.17). It turns out the locale settings are different ("en_US.UTF8" vs "C"), which led to the varied experiences. 

      We should consider specifying a given locale setting in dist/s_docs to ensure a consistent experience for users.
