     I had tried pspp-dump-sav and saved output to "output.txt" file. I attached
     ZIP archive with:
     * sps file
     * data file
     * sav file
     * output of pspp-dump-sav file
     
     As you can see, I have compiled SAV file with SET LOCALE encoding
     "windows-1251". But pspp-dump-sav says that SAV file has "utf-8" encoding.
     
     SAV file opens well in SPSS of 20th version, but in 15th version - Cyrillic
     does not work.
     
     Also, I have just tested PSPP with Windows. Without SET LOCAL command file
     has CP1251. With SET LOCALE='utf-8' file has CP1251 too. So it seems, that
     SET LOCALE makes no changes.
     
     Please, check, maybe I set locale in wrong place?

If you move the SET LOCALE command to the start of the .sps file (before the
GET DATA command) then it should work.

I tried this with version 0.7.10 and all characters seemed to display correctly.
