[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

For the last few weeks tr [:space:] isn't working the way it used to for me under Ubuntu 14.04. Instead of acting on spaces it acts on "a"s.:

me <at> U:~$ echo "thisstring abcde what the heck?" | tr [:space:] '_'
thisstring _bcde wh_t the heck?
me <at> U:~$

This is 64 bit 14.04 built up from the mini.iso with just plain Openbox as the only DE, in lxterminal using bash.
