Don't know.  When I have these installed it works fine for me.

They are the ones I have installed (they are part of our current
alpha version of XFree86).

I have the following under /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale:

koi8-r/XLC-LOCALE
tbl_data/tabkoi8-r

In locale.dir, I have a line:

koi8-r/XLC_LOCALE       ru_RU.KOI8-R

and in locale.alias, I have the following line:

ru_SU.KOI8-R    ru_RU.KOI8-R

When I then do:

  setenv ENABLE_STARTUP_LOCALE
  setenv LANG ru_SU.KOI8-R

and start xterm, it starts up without any problems.

If I remove either of those lines from locale.dir or locale.alias
it dumps core (and dumps core rather than just ignoring a locale it
doesn't recognise only because the assumption that the initial locale
is "C" isn't true).

Perhaps you should send me your /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale directory.
