Hi,
[a-z] may not represent all 26 ASCII lowercase letters in regular
expressions, eg. Estonian collation sorts z between s and t:
$ LC_ALL=et_EE.UTF-8 expr tuv : [a-z]
0
$ LC_ALL=C expr tuv : [a-z]
1
One must then switch to C locale to avoid those collation issues,
see attached patch.
Thanks
Denis
