XEmacs 21.4, vc-git.el and utf-8

All, using vc on XEmacs 21.4, git operations error out with "No such coding system: utf-8". M-x toggle-debug-on-error before a C-x v l gives Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "No such coding system" utf-8) start-process-internal("git" #<buffer "*vc-change-log*"> "git" "rev-list" "--pretty" "HEAD" "--" "Makefile") apply(start-process-internal "git" #<buffer "*vc-change-log*"> "git" ("rev-list" "--pretty" "HEAD" "--" "Makefile")) start-process("git" #<buffer "*vc-change-log*"> "git" "rev-list" "--pretty" "HEAD" "--" "Makefile") apply(start-process "git" #<buffer "*vc-change-log*"> "git" ("rev-list" "--pretty" "HEAD" "--" "Makefile")) ad-Orig-vc-do-command("*vc-change-log*" async "git" "Makefile" "rev-list" "--pretty" "HEAD" "--") apply(ad-Orig-vc-do-command "*vc-change-log*" async "git" "Makefile" ("rev-list" "--pretty" "HEAD" "--")) (setq ad-return-value (apply (quote ad-Orig-vc-do-command) buffer okstatus command file flags)) (if (or (and ... ...)

The brute-force approach (require 'un-define) appears to help, but seems to be frowned upon. What is the proper way to use vc.git.el on 21.4?
