Description Bryan Mason 2010-11-04 22:55:28 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #636552 +++

Description of problem:

    When I log in or open a new terminal window, I'm seeing this
    message:

        grep: character class syntax is [[:space:]], not [:space:]

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

    initscripts-8.45.30-2.el5.x86_64
    grep-2.7

How reproducible:

    Always

Steps to Reproduce:

    1. su - -s /bin/tcsh [any user name]
    or
    1. tcsh -x /etc/profile.d/lang.csh
  
Actual results:

    grep: character class syntax is [[:space:]], not [:space:]

Expected results:

    grep's diagnostic error gone away

Additional info:

    This is being triggered by a customer's use of perl-2.7.  I
    understand that this is technically outside of our SLA, but thought
    we might modify lang.csh since a) the existing script is,
    strictly speaking, incorrect (even though grep-2.5.1 silently
    ignores that fact), and b) it's already been addressed in Fedora
    14/rawhide.
