I am using 1.12 (no maintenance releases installed yet).

Using

dummy \*

I get

\address.txt

address.txt is the first file (using collating sequence order) in directory 
\.

Using

dummy \*a

I get

\cica

cica is the first directory (using collating sequence order) in directory \ 
that has an "a" in other than the first character of the name.

However, if te args are enclosed in " ", then it works.

Without the  " ", the program works correctly using MS C 7.0.
