  Doing "ls *.exe "

gives me invalid option -- .
Other extensions seem to work correctly !
also " ls t*.exe" works correctly!
It does only so in a directory contains a
file with name -gstab.exe
(note the leading minus !)
( minus is probably an illegal char for Dos Names but under Windows
its easy to generate such a file name !)
(the .exe has nothing special, if I create a file   "-a.out"
ls *.out also gives the same message !)

  Is this a known bug or feature ?

I am using DJGPP v2.03
ls --version  gives  3.16
