Yes, such wildcards are supported.

How many files is there, anyway?  Maybe you did overflow the limits?
Does that command work from ye olde COMMAND.COM?  I was just able to
list about 1400 files with a similar command using the latest bash.

Btw, is that `ls' from the DJGPP port (v2gnu/fil313b.zip) on
SimTel.NET, or some other port?
