I don't have it in hand. 

The test is simple:

1) Create the file with single character per line from \000 to \377

2) Sort it using 
	LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.KOI8-R gnu_sort < file
(I mean _patched_ GNU sort we currently have in sources, not original 
one which not support collation)

3) Sort it using 
	LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.KOI8-R bsd_sort < file

4) Compare results.
