        filename globbing does not work correctly

Repeat-By:

Consider the three Files a, b, c under redhat 7.2, login via ssh:

        [root@pc10 tmp]# cat /etc/issue
        Red Hat Linux release 7.2 (Enigma)
        Kernel \r on an \m

        [root@pc10 tmp]# ll a b c
        -rw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 Jan 14 15:21 a
        -rw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 Jan 14 15:21 b
        -rw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 Jan 14 15:21 c
        [root@pc10 tmp]# echo [A-Z] 
        [A-Z]
        [root@pc10 tmp]#

this is ok, now login as root directly at the machines X Windows,
the echo output is completely different:

        [root@pc10 tmp]# echo [A-Z]
        b c
        [root@pc10 tmp]# echo ${BASH_VERSINFO[@]}
