It's not glibc's preference but the collation rules for a given locale! If you want to complain, do so to the relevant ISO standardisation commitee. > The other place this hits, and where many first saw it, is that it > allows a command like 'rm [a-z]*' to unlink(2) files like Makefile. Set your locale to C and you don't have that problem. Philipp
