I have installed cigwin on my W2K PC and all is very well functioning .
However if i try some commands like ls * or grep -i -l some_text * from a
directory whit a lot of files (7-8 thousand) i obtain this error

bash: /usr/bin/ls: Invalid argument

Is it a bug ?

If i try the same commands from a dos shell the error is not reported e all is
functioning .
