Hi,

There are some Bash options that don't work as I expected.
I'm using Bash release 2.04.7. on Windows ME.

checkwinsize

This option is supposed to update the LINES variable. I made
a little command-line program to change screen height, but
LINES is never actualized. It is 25 no matter the size of
the window.

nocaseglob

This option is supposed to enable case-insensitive glob
expansion. But the option is automatically disabled each
time a glob expansion is done. So:

$ shopt -s nocaseglob
$ shopt nocaseglob
nocaseglob        on
$ echo *.sh
history.sh
$ echo *.SH
*.SH
$ shopt nocaseglob
shopt        off
