Hi.
Thanks for taking the time to submit a report.
Andy's comments are on target - you are seeing an issue related to
locales wherein ranges like [A-Z] can match lowercase characters as
well. This is described in the current manual. See:
https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/html_node/Ranges-and-Locales.html
Starting at gawk 4.0, this is no longer a problem; upgrading to the
current version is an excellent idea. (Gawk 3.1.4 is almost 16 years old!)
Thanks,
Arnold
