Public bug reported:

As we know, command "look" display lines beginning with a given string,
and the lines are from file "/usr/share/dict/words" by default.

Problem is
 - if we run "look a" or "look b", the result only contains words beginning 
with upper-A or upper-B.
 - if we run "look" for [c-z] like "look c", the result only contains words 
beginning with lower-[c-z].

Eg1:
    $ look a | tail
    Azores's
    Azov
    Azov's
    Aztec
    Aztecan
    Aztecan's
    Aztec's
    Aztecs
    Aztlan
    Aztlan's

Eg2:
    $ look c | head
    c
    ca
    cab
    cabal
    cabal's
    cabals
    cabana
    cabana's
    cabanas
    cabaret

As a result, "look b" never finds "byte", and "look c" never finds
"cpu".

Please kindly check.
Thanks!
