When I use pdksh to expand the name of a file with spaces or other
shell metachars in it, the filename is expanded without escaping the
metacharacters.

On cygwin:

$ cd Whiteboards & Photos/
$ echo $KSH_VERSION
@(#)PD KSH v5.2.14 99/07/13.2

On NetBSD:

$ cd Whiteboards\ \&\ Photos/
$ echo $KSH_VERSION
@(#)PD KSH v5.2.14 99/07/13.2

Has anyone else noticed this?  I couldn't find anything in the cygwin
list archives about it.
