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.

Yeap. When I ran into this problem, I asked this one to Chet Ramey
<chet@po.CWRU.Edu> and Brian Fox <bfox@ai.mit.edu>, both bash-maintainers.

The cause of this problem is alloca(). The alloca() for HP-UX 8.0 is broken,
so you should NOT use the alloca supplied in the library.

The way to do this is to edit machines.h and to undefine HAVE_ALLOCA.
Recompile and all is fine.

Please contact me by e-mail if you still run into trouble.
