Hello fellow Grepers!

the following line:

echo -n "9999:egov" | sha256sum | grep -E "[0-9a-f]+" -o | xxd -r -p |
base32 | grep -E "[0-9A-Z]+" -o

produces the following output

LCBSPBBX6BY6
VZX6P6TZMMRETTCSPXZU7GJTAPPZCPKF2UJEYDA

This is because W is not part of the Swedish collate class, so A-Z does
not match W, for some strange reason -- I think this has been changed in
recent glibc though.
