Well, I didn't write the worm, and I'm no expert on I18n either, but
basically yes, the C locale is the default for computer systems, which
basically treats characters based on their index in the character set,
so 0-9 comes first, then A-Z then a-z, with all the other special
characters in between.
a locale like en_GB would sort case insensitive, so you get
0-9, [aA]-[zZ]
something like fr_FR would also have accented characters at the same
level as their non-accented counterparts, so you'd have (ignoring
ucase):
0-9 [a`aa'a^] b [cc,] d [ee'e`e^] f g h [ii`i'i^] ...
