Hello Coreutils Team,

When I use the command:

echo "/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2" | grep -o '[a-zA-Z\/0-9\-\.]*'

The result is that I get a tokenized string where - has been replaced with \n

/lib64/ld
linux
x86
64.so.2

The expected result is:

/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

When the character class is modified so that the - is not next to the number 9:

echo "/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2" | grep -o '[a-zA-Z\/0-9\.\-]*'

/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

The expected result is obtained.

I am aware - is used to specify a range, but it is escaped, should this be the proper behaviour?

Thanks,
Tom
