Thanks Larry.   I had seen that option, but nothing to indicate that it had
changed between 1.5.12 and 1.5.23.     Can anyone account for the difference
between these two versions?    What I'm actually seeing is a behavior change
in a perl script that does something like:

open(LS, "ls -dF1 /c* | grep '/.*/' |");

One way to fix this is wrap it with bash, but I'd like to understand exactly
what changed.    Replacing grep with the program below showed me a
difference in the wild card expansion and that lead to the assumption that
wild cards are expanded differently - maybe it's something else?

thanks for any insight,
jim
