I see the issue in both 1.5 and 1.7, attached is an example in > cygwin 1.7. [http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PCYMTWLL] The issue is not ls, but glob() and fnmatch(), which do not have the same .exe magic as other functions. In short, fnmatch is merely comparing the pattern against the values returned by readdir(). Either we could teach readdir() to omit .exe (similar to how open() and stat() recognize 'ash' as a synonym for 'ash.exe'), or teach the pattern matchers to to ignore the .exe returned by readdir() (but still allow searches like *.exe to work).
