Hello,

I have another interesting case where .exe magic doesn't work as
transparently as one would expect.

I have a file python2.6.exe. A script tries to find it with "ls
python2.?". It is not found.

Here the script needs a modification to work with Cygwin, but we can't
really say that there is a bug in the script.

Al
