On a 10u5 ("good") machine:
0000000 301 \n
0000002
On an OpenSolaris ("bad") machine:
0000000 A \n
0000002
Ah, so it could be tr. In both cases echo's a shell builtin, and tr
is /usr/bin/tr.

From the good machine:
+ echo A
+ od -c
+ tr A \301
0000000 301 \n
0000002
From the bad machine:
+ echo A
+ od -c
+ tr A '\301'
0000000 A \n
0000002
So there's a slight difference in quoting too.
Cheers,
