I have a bash script that ran cleanly under 1.5.9x, that now exhibits some disturbing behaviour under a recent upgrade. The gist of the problem is that the execution of compact /c file.exe >NUL which used to run and produce no output (due to the redirect) now actually puts the output into a file called NUL So, I can deal with the fact that the script needs to either use NUL: (which I did not test) or maybe more appropriately /dev/null (which works), but I now have the NUL files polluting my disk that cannot be removed! Under a real unix shell, I've had occasion to drop down to a bourne shell to delete filenames with wilrdcard characters that a (t)csh would have trouble with, but I have not found a similar was to deal with this. Using rm NUL in bash does not work; rem NUL in a dos box doesn't work, and the windows explorer doesn't either.
