Is the following a bug??  I do not remember needing '*.exe' to access a file
before, especially when 'ls' does not show the extension.

Of course, I could be mis-remembering.........

This is a new 'all default' install of cygwin from the net on Winnt4 SP6.

I'll try this from home also with my cvs copy.
