I have the same setup, and I have noticed the same thing.. echo * gives only
the first filename (and combinations have actually given the last name)..
The pattern matching is a little messed up.. and of course, just to make sure,
I also compiled it on a sparc running SunOs4.1.2 and the resulting shell
worked perfectly.. very weird..
