I successfully compiled BASH 1.12 under HP-UX 8.00 on an HP9000/345
without incident, but the resulting shell exhibits some strange
behavior when expanding wildcards.  For example:

larson% ls
alias-conv.sh*   scripts/         suncmd.termcap
functions/       startup-files/   whatis
larson% echo *
alias-conv.sh
larson% echo s*
scripts

As you can see, the wildcard expansion only picks up the first item.

Has anyone else compiled BASH under a similar environment?  Is there
something simple that I'm missing?  Any help would be greatly
appreciated -- I'd like to avoid digging around if someone has already
solved this one.

Thanks.

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..
