    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The following script lines fail with a syntax error

set bugtest=a

if [ $bugtest = a ] ; then echo yes ; fi     # This works

if [ $bugtest > a ] ; then echo yes ; fi     # Fails syntax

if [ $bugtest > 'a' ] ; then echo yes ; fi   # Fails syntax

if [ $bugtest > "a" ] ; then echo yes ; fi   # Fails syntax

if [ $bugtest > ((a)) ] ; then echo yes ; fi   # Fails syntax

Also using the less than sign <  fails in the same way with messages:

error: syntax error.
error: Incorrect command.
error: syntax error.

This happens on all releases of Grub 2.02 that I have tried including Grub
2.02 RC1
