I've just noticed that go32 1.12m4 seems to have a bug in wildcard globbing. The '?' wildcard is not processed correctly at the end of a filename segment. For example, "abcde?.c" fails to match a file named "abcdef.c". "abc???.c" also fails. But "ab?def.c" does match; even weirder, so does "abcde?.*"! The [] construct seems to have the same problem. Is this a known bug? Am I just nuts? While I'm asking, is 1.* still being maintained, or should I expect that such bugs won't be fixed until v2? If so, how soon will v2 go out of beta? regards, tom lane
