Bash Version: 4.1
Patch Level: 0
Release Status: release

Description:

        (I'm not sure if this a bash or a coreutils issue).

        ls [A-Z]*

        doesn't work as expected/documented.
        I'd want/expect it to list the filenames starting with an uppercase 
letter.

        Thank you for looking at it!


Repeat-By:
        In an empty directory, create files like

        touch a A b B z Z

        Now,

        ls [A-Z]*

        outputs

        A  b  B  z  Z

        (why 'b' and 'z' - and/or where's 'a'...?!!)

        and

        ls [a-z]*

        outputs

        a  A  b  B  z

        (why 'A' and 'B' - and/or where's 'Z'...?!!)
