Yes, sort of.  I use doskey to make an ls macro ("ls"="ls -F --color"),
and something similar happens to me.  If I do "ls", the output is
normal.  However, if I use "ls *", I get the ENOENT error on some files
(but not all files).

I had thought it was just my hard drive being spastic, but I guess it's
not just me if it happens to other people...
