   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.
