This is bash-1.02 on Xenix 386 (almost System V).
This one is somewhat serious. I got bash up and running and everything
seems great.
bash$ ls
123abcd 123cdef 123ghhh
bash$ echo *
3abcd 3cdef 3ghhh 3ghhh
bash$
I haven't figured this one out.

I cannot debug this because I don't have a SYS V machine. The only
thing I can suggest is looking in globbing to see if the directory
routines that your machine uses are really the right ones. It is
possible that a structure is defined somewhere that does the wrong
thing.
See if you get the same behaviour with M-?.
Please let me know the answer to both or either question as soon as you
find anything out (including the fact that it doesn't happen with M-?).
Thanks,
Brian
PS: You are the second isolated report on this. No one else has
complained, and yet Bash is running on many SYS V systems.
