[ command pattern was [E-G]*.xml, output included a file starting with 'f' ]
Is it possible that you have your locale (or one of the related environment
variables) set to something other than C? I don't get similar behavior by
default from bash on my computer, but if I set LC_COLLATE=en_US.utf8 I do.
What's happening there is that the sort order for [] ranges is changed so
that instead of being EFG ... efg, it's eEfFgG, and f is the the range
between E and G. If this is undesired behavior, you may want to set
LC_COLLATE=C.
