In C shell scripts, it is supposed to be possible to quote the comment character '#' by preceding it with a backslash, and in fact, tha command ls \#log in such a script will list the file #log if such a file exists. However, the C shell does not correctly handle certain special characters after a quoted '#', so that the command ls \#* and other variations on it will always produce the error message "No match", no matter how many files there are that begin with '#'.
