HP-UX also does this. The most funny thing is that the 8859/5 locale in
HP-UX
is broken. It defines wrong character order for collation like
AaBbVvGg...
(using transliteration of russian letters) instead of ABVG...abvg..., so
if you do

echo bvBV | tr [a-g] [A-G]

you get "BVab". I've made definitions for CP866 and KOI-8 locales from
their
8859/5 locale and that was a real surprise to discover that bug. You can
try
it also on Sun :-)
