Because KOI8 is not multibyte encoding.

========C==========
mbstowcs returns -1 errno: 84 Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide
character
========ru_RU.KOI8-R==========
mbstowcs returns 12 errno: 0 Success
========ru_RU.UTF-8==========
mbstowcs returns 6 errno: 0 Success

mbstowcs returns 6 errno: 0 Unknown error: 0
In any case, we could not trust mbstowcs if current locale is not match
to encoding. And we could not check every pair of locale/encoding but
mbstowcs with C-locale and multibyte encoding obviously doesn't work.
