Something seems *really* whacked out with bash wildcards.
Firstly they aren't being listed in case-sensitive lexical
order (A B C a b c) they way they should be, and secondly
ranges are *really* screwed up:

% cd /tmp
% mkdir test
% cd test
% touch A B C a b c
% /bin/ls -1
a
A
b
B
c
C
% /bin/ls -1 [A-Z]*
A
b
B
c
C
% echo *
a A b B c C
% echo [A-Z]*
A b B c C

Anyone else seen this?  Or have a suggestion on how to proceed?
