I recently discovered why my ARC was behaving so strangely. When I tell gulam "arc a foo *.c" gulam attempts to expand the "*.c" into "foo.c bar.c baz.c ...", and substitute that list of file names into the arglist before starting up ARC. the problem, of course, is that if you've got very may files, gulam comes up with a ridiculously long arglist, and ends up trying to call ARC with a bogus argstring, or otherwise getting confused. Checking the GULAM doc reveals some stuff about how it's a feechur (as opposed to a bug in a tux) that it attempts to outsmart itself this way, but I couldn't find any way to disable the feechur. Does anyone know if it's possible?
