regex bug (only in rpm?)

[Adam Monsen]

I'm whining (pipe it to grep!) but regex support seems buggy in find 4.1.
It looks like it's including regex.c v0.12, and a comment in this file
says "Implements POSIX draft P10003.2/D11.2, except for
internationalization features." Yet, POSIX character classes, ranges, and
possibly other features seem to be unsupported in some cases.

This seems quite wrong:
address@hidden adamm]$ find . -regex '\./[A-Z]+'
./Desktop
./scripts
./bin
./movies
./ref
./tmp
./mbox

I installed findutils-4.1.6-3-i386.rpm. The 4.1 tarball gave me the
following error on make install:
