Hmm... that's not what I see happening here. LINES is not set at all
by BASH --- neither to 25 nor to any other value.  Which is to be
expected to some extent.  A DOS box, even with a DJGPP program running
in it, is no a Unix terminal, after all.

It's not, in my own tests.  If you had checked after the first "echo",
you would still have found nocaseglob on.  Only after the second glob,
which uses upper-case letters in the glob pattern, it's reset.
