A very short program:

	/* dummy.c */
	main (argc, argv)
	int argc;
	char *argv[];
	{
		printf("%s\n",argv[1]);
	}

  C:\TEST> gcc -c dummy dummy.c
  C:\TEST> coff2exe dummy
  C:\TEST> dummy \*
  \ai                         <- This One !!!
  C:\TEST> dummy \*a
  \*a

I tried other C compilers (including EMX/GCC). They returned:

  C:\TEXT> dummy \*
  \*

(Of course, in Unix, * instead of \* is returned.)

I am using DJGPP 1.12.maint2.

Any idea about this?
