I just noticed something odd when trying to run
rm -v /*._dd
to remove the FILE*._DD files created by Norton Disk Doctor.
rm refused, saying that '/*._dd' did not exist.
I use a patched version of fileutils-4.0, that sets the crt0 flags to
include
_CRT0_FLAG_PRESERVE_FILENAME_CASE, mostly for the benefit of
ls (I use ls, not ls-lisp, in emacs, so I get correct file names (ie README,
NEWS, etc). However, it seems that if that crt0 flag is set, the crt0
globber will not expand arguments correctly (ie it needs *._DD to match
the files, not *._dd). Since setting opendir_flags instead solved the
problem (correct globbing and correct case), this isn't really a big issue,
but I would like to know whether this behavious is intended or broken.
