Package: grep
Version: 2.5.3~dfsg-2
Severity: normal
The problem roughly boils down to this:

'(([1-9][0-9]|[0])\.){2}'

88.77.87.16
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo '88.77.87.16' | LANG=C LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF8" grep -E
'(([1-9][0-9]|[0])\.)(([1-9][0-9]|[0])\.)'

======================================================================There is something wicked going on. The first regexp does not match, although it should. Removing the brackets from the 0, setting the CTYPE to non UTF-8, setting the repetition count in the braces to 1 or simply doubling the subexpression instead of using a repetition count all make the regexp match.
