grep: bug or feature ?

[Andreas Wehrmann]

Actually, the complain is correct because big letters come before small 
ones (according to ASCII), therefore

 > ./busybox grep "[A-z]" /etc/hosts

would be correct.
However, I cannot confirm the loop working, it cancels with the same 
error here...

Andreas Wehrmann
