Sorry for not investigating it further yesterday, it was already too
late and I was looking forward to the bed :-)
The culprit is shell expansion: as long as your current working
directory contains a file with one-letter name (one of ':uperlow'), shell
will expand the expression to that (one letter long) name.
I had a file named 'p' in my ~/
Actually, there is still another (minor) bug present: tr seems not to work with
multibyte characters, so as long as your locale is UTF-8, it will fail
to convert non-ASCII characters.
I guess you do not need any of the information you asked anymore...
Best,
