Follow-up Comment #3:

> The behaviour of grep has changed since I test both versions on the same
system.

True, but it's a bugfix. (BTW, did you compile 2.5.3 yourself or did you use
your distro's)?

> I don't know why grep should reply the same strings no matter if I grep for
^[A-Z] or ^[a-z].

It actually doesn't, one would omit "a" and the other would omit "Z".  It's
the way it is, and we cannot change it.

> Besides, how would you grep for lines starting with a capital character
using a locale!=C?

You don't.  You have to set LC_ALL=C or at least LC_COLLATE=C.

I'm closing the bug, but feel free to reply again if you have other doubts.
