First: what control scripts are you thinking of? /etc/init.d/rc is
responsible for runlevel initialization scripts. The glob pattern is:
/etc/rc$runlevel.d/K[0-9][0-9]*
/etc/rc$runlevel.d/S*
...which appears safe.
Second: globbing starts at the beginning of the filename -- this is
shell globbing, not regexp pattern matching. "*[SK][0-9]*" would match
a leading "_" (or any other string), "[SK][0-9]*" would not.
