Ah. I have LANG=en_US. With C it works for me as well. I still think it's a bug, though. Look at this: ~/work/GeneX-Server/DB/xml $ ls -l [D-E]*.xml F*.xml -rwxr-xr-x 1 jasons jasons 1514 Jul 11 17:29 ExperimentFactors.xml -rwxr-xr-x 1 jasons jasons 4237 Jul 11 17:29 ExperimentSet.xml -rwxr-xr-x 1 jasons jasons 2090 Jul 11 17:29 ExternalDatabase.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 jasons jasons 687 Jul 11 17:29 FeatureExtraction.xml -rwxr-xr-x 1 jasons jasons 5761 Jul 11 17:29 Feature.xml ~/work/GeneX-Server/DB/xml $ ls -l [D-F]*.xml -rwxr-xr-x 1 jasons jasons 1514 Jul 11 17:29 ExperimentFactors.xml -rwxr-xr-x 1 jasons jasons 4237 Jul 11 17:29 ExperimentSet.xml -rwxr-xr-x 1 jasons jasons 2090 Jul 11 17:29 ExternalDatabase.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 jasons jasons 687 Jul 11 17:29 FeatureExtraction.xml -rwxr-xr-x 1 jasons jasons 5761 Jul 11 17:29 Feature.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 jasons jasons 2712 Jul 11 17:29 functions-sql.xml It only seems to happen when the F is part of a character class. Is this how en_US is supposed to work? jas.
