Could someone please post the following for me to gnu.bash.bug; for some reason I cannot post to that group. If someone knows the solution to my problem let me know.
I am currently having difficulty with the "*" in writing aliases and functions. If the "*" is being used in a command line (ie. "ls *" ) the wild card will only match some --not all-- of the files it comes across. The following are examples which demonstrate the problems I am having with bash.
example 4: The following is not related to the above examples but it produces acore dump that can be very large --this might be the result of "cd" being a built in function.
