I cannot reproduce this problem on Debian Jessie 8 using grep 2.20
from the Debian distribution. Here is my test case.
address@hidden:~$ echo ONE | GREP_OPTIONS= grep one
address@hidden:~$ echo ONE | GREP_OPTIONS=--ignore-case grep one
ONE
address@hidden:~$ echo ONE | env -i GREP_OPTIONS=--ignore-case grep one
ONE
address@hidden:~$ grep --version
grep (GNU grep) 2.20
Works for me.
Perhaps you have some incompatible LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE variables
mixing?
