Thank you Mojca!  That works perfectly.  However, there were other tests
which were failing as well for the same reason, so I just set

      before_script:
      - export LC_ALL=C
      - export LANG=C

in the Travis configuration.  Now it builds without issues on the Xcode
9.4.1 (OS X 10.13) image on Travis.  I'm now trying to downgrade the
Xcode version for backwards compatibility.  Maybe Travis can then be
used to build official TeX Live binaries for the next release.

Cheers, Henri
