Public bug reported:
Package: grep 2.16-1
Ubuntu 14.04
These two commands run against the attached file testcase.txt produce different
results. First one matches, second one doesn't. They should not give different
results. * should match zero or more items and in this case there is 1 item.
$ cat testcase.txt | egrep 'ppp_connected[^[:alnum:]]'
ppp_status : 'ppp_connected',
$ cat testcase.txt | egrep 'ppp_connected[^[:alnum:]]*'
** Affects: grep (Ubuntu)
