Hi,

I've just started using the 1.0 Cygwin CD release.

I have a problem with filename globbing.  A single * expands correctly to
give all filenames.

But any variation on this (such as a* or *a) gives the error "Filename too
long", whether or not there are files that match the pattern.

Any suggestions?
