Is there an intent to distribute a Linux-x86_64 binary?

Try running nedit as in

LC_ALL=C nedit

AFAIK nedit doesn't support UTF-8 locales, and if the above de_DE locale 
is just an alias to de_DE.UTF-8, then nedit didn't switch to a non-UTF-8 
locale, and that might have caused the crash. Perhaps.

If you want nedit to be able to convert German characters to upper and 
lower case (eg. ä/Ä), you need to install a de_DE locale with ISO8859-1 
encoding, then select it before you run nedit, as in (at least)

export LC_CTYPE=de_DE.ISO8859-1

If you invoke "sort" from nedit, this should be useful too:

export LC_COLLATE=de_DE.ISO8859-1

You can verify your locale settings by running "locale". LANG provides a 
default for unset LC_* variables (locale categories), and LC_ALL 
overrides all LC_* variables.

Generating and installing a locale is distribution-specific, your distro 
probably has some wrapper around localedef.
