Wierd ls question

Hi all,

Just updated to patch 117000-03 from 108528-18 and someone pointed out
that a simple ls was sorting differently now, upper case letters are now
being displayed first. However when I look at the binary the /bin/ls
file hasn't changed. This is consistent though with servers that were
upgraded and those that weren't.

This is how a simple ls is displaying after the patch:

$ls
MocarsTicketFactory.properties identitydb.properties.def
MocarsTicketRequest.properties ipam.properties
PasswordKeeper.properties lib
bin log.properties
bulkadd logs
cbawa.properties monitorthread.properties
cbawakeys nipa.properties
cbawakeys-def nipadynamic.properties
cert nipaug.properties
cert-def properties
cert.default pstore
classes rc
conf servlets
diruser.properties share.properties
ejb temp
env webapps
filewatcher.properties work
identitydb.properties

This is how its displayed before the patch:

$ ls
aracs log.properties
bin logs
bootclasses MocarsTicketFactory.properties
bootlib MocarsTicketRequest.properties
bulkadd monitorthread.properties
cbawa.properties myserver
cbawakeys nipa.properties
cert nipadynamic.properties
cert.default nipaug.properties
cgi-bin PasswordKeeper.properties
classes properties
conf pstore
diruser.properties public_html
dp q
ejb rc
env rwcable.properties.03d
filewatcher.properties rwcable.properties.bressan
identitydb.properties servletimages
identitydb.properties.orig servlets
IORs share.properties
ipam.properties sqlnet.log
IPDEPOT system
jspWorkingDir webapps
junk weblogic.policy
lib weblogic.properties

Anybody have any clue?
