[PATCH] the use of 'tr' in the test suite isn't really portable

From
H.Merijn Brand <h.m.brand@xs4all.nl>
Date
Dec 17, 2007, 18:15 UTC
Message-ID
<20071217191508.79cc05e2@pc09.procura.nl>

Some versions of 'tr' only accept octal codes if entered with three digits, and therefor misinterpret the '\0' in the test suite.

Some versions of 'tr' reject the (needless) use of character classes.
