Well, the success or otherwise of the 'echo *' is really a function
of the shell (in my case ksh) which expands the wildcard.
That led me to re-run the wildcard expansion test with some different
shells, and I found the following:
/bin/ash,/bin/bash1,/bin/ksh (strictly, pd ksh)
echo *|wc -w
63
/bin/bash,/bin/csh,/bin/sh,/bin/tcsh
echo *|wc -w
201
The second group reflect the correct result. Clearly it depends on the
details of how the programs are doing the directory reads.
Which shell were you using?
