I am delighted that my guess was right. I remember a story with a
similar issue with the Simple Event Correlator (SEC). The user's rule
contained:

  [A-Z]

but was only matching characters from A to S (there is that pesky S
again) and Z but not C, Q and characters after T in the
alphabet. Other characters were being matched.  The trick to figuring
this out was the SEC was not running in the C locale, but the Estonian
locale. It has Z right after S and is missing a few characters from
it's alphabet..

I still always use "LANG=C sort" due to a similar locale/codeset issue
early in my career.

Have fun adding permissions.
