You have to not only produce a ripemd160 collision, you have to produce
a collision that is also a valid sha-256 hash - and that's much much
much more difficult.

For 0.13.0 I had to do

export LANG=en_US.utf8

before running the test suite. I build in clean chroot build environment
to avoid accidental linking to non-standard libraries, and in that
environment the LANG is normally set to C as LANG normally doesn't
matter for compiling software that is expected to run regardless of what
the LANG is.

That I believe was fixed in 0.13.1.

In 0.13.1 the error is

Running test/bitcoin-util-test.py...

0.13.0 test works just fine (once the LANG is set to something utf8)
