I ran this program on Solaris 9 U5 (September 2006) on Sparc and got:

---
SunOS tor10-z1 5.9 Generic_Virtual sun4v sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5120
locale "is_IS.ISO8859-1": strxfrm returned 162; last modified byte at 106 (0xffd2)
locale "is_IS.ISO8859-1": strxfrm returned 162; last modified byte at 106 (0xffd2)
locale "": strxfrm returned 26; last modified byte at 58 (0x0)
---

NB this runs in a Container on a Solaris 10 host. On our oldest
Solaris 10 sparc box, running Solaris 10 U6 (October 2008) I get:

---
SunOS tor07 5.10 Generic_137137-09 sun4v sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5120
locale "is_IS.ISO8859-1": strxfrm returned 216; last modified byte at 58 (0x0)
locale "is_IS.ISO8859-1": strxfrm returned 216; last modified byte at 58 (0x0)
locale "": strxfrm returned 26; last modified byte at 27 (0x0)

On x86: Solaris 10 U5 (May 2008) I get:

---
SunOS loki08 5.10 Generic_127128-11 i86pc i386 i86pc
locale "is_IS.ISO8859-1": strxfrm returned 216; last modified byte at 58 (0x0)

locale "": strxfrm returned 26; last modified byte at 27 (0x0)
