Erich,

in my previous mail I wrote:

As soon as I added "SetEnv LANG en_US.UTF-8" to Apache's configuration
(to the appropriate .htaccess file, surrounded by <Files
"smokeping.cgi"> and </Files>), everything started to work fine.

That composes the following contents of .htaccess:

<Files "smokeping.cgi">
SetEnv LANG en_US.UTF-8
</Files>

You did not have quotation marks around the file name - fortunately this 
makes no difference for Apache. Additionally you have added = and that 
is what breaks it. Your syntax sets the variable named LANG=en_us.UTF-8 
to an empty value. Delete that equals and try again.
