Windows 2000
cygwin 1.5.4
make 3.80-1

Makefile
all:
	@echo $(wildcard */*.java)

directory structure
a/a1.java
a/a2.java
a/a3.java
b/b1.java

When I enter the command make, I get the output
a/b1.java b/b1.java

If I rename the directory b to c, I get the output
a/a1.java a/a2.java a/a3.java c/b1.java
(correct behavior)

Now rename a to b, and then c to a.
The directory structure is now
a/b1.java
b/a1.java
b/a2.java
b/a3.java
Now when I run make, I get
a/a1.java a/a2.java a/a3.java b/a1.java b/a2.java b/a3.java

Put things back the way they started, and add the directory c:
c/c1.java
c/c2.java
I run make and I get
a/b1.java b/b1.java c/c1.java c/c2.java

Neat, huh?

It looks like there is something special about the directory names
a and b, but not c.
