Yes, I noticed this when I downloaded beta16. This seem to be some kind of
CR-LF file handling (EOL?) problem.

If you do:
~/mydir> rm -i foo.*
and end with a linefeed (Cntrl-J) instead of CR it works fine. The problem is
probably within bash because if you do the same in a DOS shell it works fine.
