>Description:
The following command fails:
# expr '>' : '.*'
expr: syntax error
It should return 1 (the length of the string '>') instead.
Note that Linux's expr does right thing.
>How-To-Repeat:
See above.
>Fix:
Unknown. It seems our expr threats '>' and operator
and not as operand for ':' operator.
