Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Some examples:

expr substr "abcde" 5 1: Returns e (as expected)
expr substr "abcåe" 5 1: Returns � (expected was e)




locales:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8

coreutils-7.1 doesnt have any unicode/etc... patches, so it's expected to not work currently.  dont try and use unicode and such and it'll work fine.
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2010-01-05 05:00:13 UTC 
ive added the patch from fedora behind USE=unicode
