I use a patched version of fileutils-4.0, that sets the crt0 flags to include _CRT0_FLAG_PRESERVE_FILENAME_CASE, mostly for the benefit of ls (I use ls, not ls-lisp, in emacs, so I get correct file names (ie README, NEWS, etc). However, it seems that if that crt0 flag is set, the crt0 globber will not expand arguments correctly (ie it needs *._DD to match the files, not *._dd). Since setting opendir_flags instead solved the problem (correct globbing and correct case), this isn't really a big issue, but I would like to know whether this behavious is intended or broken. -- Hi, I'm a signature virus. plz set me as your signature and help me spread :)
