grep

The GNU grep 2.4.2 which is distributed by grep-2.4.2-8mdk has a bug
when I executing the following command on a one line file "bugtest":

$grep '\<[A-Z][a-z]\{6\}:' bugtest
$Jon DeLoach:408-253-3122:123 Park St., San Jose, CA 04086:7/25/53:85100
$cat bugtest
$Jon DeLoach:408-253-3122:123 Park St., San Jose, CA 04086:7/25/53:85100

It is clear that the line should not be matched as there is an upper
case letter L in "DeLoach". 


I run the same command on a SunOS 5.8 system. There is not such a error.
