Bash Version: 4.0 Patch Level: 10 Release Status: release Description: Strings compared with [[ string1 < string2 ]] are supposed to use the current locale, but they don't. Repeat-By: imadev:/tmp/greg$ ls ab Ac imadev:/tmp/greg$ [[ ab < Ac ]]; echo $? 1 imadev:/tmp/greg$ locale LANG=en_US.iso88591 LC_CTYPE="en_US.iso88591" LC_COLLATE="en_US.iso88591" LC_MONETARY="en_US.iso88591" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.iso88591" LC_TIME=POSIX LC_MESSAGES="en_US.iso88591" LC_ALL= Bash appears to be using "C" sorting (ASCII) here. The current locale sorts ab before Ac, as ls shows, but bash reverses this. The exit status from the [[ command should have been 0 (true). This error also occurs in 2.05b and 3.2.48 (the only other versions of bash I tested).
