 ksh globbing error Create a file with name pkg-stable.html in a directory, then try the command 'ls pkg*'. I have noticed for some time that the files matching 'pkg*' will not be listed by ksh if the first character after the 'g' is a dash. If you try the command 'ls pkg-*', then the files are listed. --      |

I call nonsense. $ echo $SH_VERSION @(#)PD KSH v5.2.14 99/07/13.2 $ uname -a OpenBSD firewall.lr.los-gatos.ca.us 4.1 Soekris#3 i386 $ touch pkg-stable.html $ ls pkg* pkg-stable.html $ ls pkg-* pkg-stable.html What version are you using? Mine is a nearly completely stock 4.1 install on an x86, with the kernel rebuilt from the -stable branch about 2 weeks ago; the userspace has not (yet) been rebuilt. I find a disturbing trend in your "bug reports": They all sound too weird to be true; they nearly always turn out to be untrue, you report them with great lack of details, version numbers, and transcripts, and you always find fault in the system, before looking at the mirror. Anycase, please report exact version numbers and provenance of your system, and report a transcript. Thanks. -- Ralph Becker-Szendy _firstname_@lr_dot_los-gatos_dot_ca_dot_us |

This is where I have been seeing the problem. > What version are you using?

Writing of wierd - I have discovered that, when my screen suddenly flashes and I lose the cursor (in KDE) that switching to the root console and back restores the cursor for a while. > Anycase, please report exact version numbers and provenance of your > system, and report a transcript.
