OK. I'm just going to set LC_COLLATE to "C" and not sweat it.
There seems to be something else aside from LC_ALL, LC_COLLATE
and LANG that affects collating sequence. Notice the difference
between "[a-d]*" and "[a-D]*". Whatever collating sequence is being used
do select files puts "D" after "d", though the actual sort puts them as being
equal. Whatever. I've gotten bored now. :)
I do not see that behavior here. I am using the stock bash
distributed by Debian.
I get the behavior with the stock RedHat and (likely, though not certain)
stock Debian BASHes. So, it seems clear: something aside from LANG,
LC_ALL and LC_COLLATE affects the collating sequence.
$ unset LANG LC_COLLATE LC_ALL
$ echo [a-D]*

You might be chasing a patch bug.
Whatever it is, I have the workaround: LC_COLLATE=C.
Thank you, Bob.
