Unfortunetely, expr from sh-utils 2.0.15 has the same problem as > 2.0.12. I don't know, maybe it's intended to be like that. I'm using C > locale, but setting it to en_US has no effect.
Hi Pavel, Thanks for the report. Using the latest test release (compiled against libc-2.3.1), I can't reproduce that problem. And there haven't been any significant changes to expr.c since 2.0.15. Would you please see the same problem using the latest test release? ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/fetish/coreutils-4.5.4.tar.bz2 (coreutils is the union of fileutils, textutils, and sh-utils) If you *do* reproduce your problem, please let me know whether your build used lib/regex.o or not, and include the output of running /lib/libc.so.*.
