FindFirst and FindNext interprets the mask '*.xyz' as '*.xyz*'

procedure FindFirstNextBug;
var
 found: Integer;
 aMask: String;
 fName: String;
 aPath: String;
 aList: TStringList;
 fsr:  TSearchRec;
begin
 aPath := GetCurrentDir;
 {Only *.doc files should be found, but *.docx files are also in the list!}
 aMask := aPath + '\*.doc';
 aList := nil;
 found := FindFirst(aMask,faAnyFile XOR faDirectory,fsr);
 try
  aList := TStringList.Create;
  while found=0 do begin
   aList.Add(aPath + '\' + fsr.Name);
   found := FindNext(fsr);
  end;
  DisplayStringList(aList); {Use your favorite display method here.}
 finally
  SysUtils.FindClose(fsr);
  aList.Free;
 end;
end;
