Thanks for taking the time
Hi,
I discovered that if there is a file with the one lowercase letter name 'o'
or 'p' or 'e' in the same directory where the tr command is executed it
generates an error or unexpected result.
Following is the the simple commands used to re-produce this bug
r...@mme1-f101-1:# echo hello | tr [:lo

The bug is in your lack of shell quoting, and not in tr. To see why this
is not a tr bug, you can do:
# echo hello | echo tr [:lowe

Thank you for your report. However this is not a bug in tr. It is
insufficient
