9624.0. "Another C-shell wildcard expansion problem in V4.0* (fixed in Steel)" by DECC::SULLIVAN (Jeff Sullivan) Fri Apr 25 1997 13:23

I ran across this C-shell wildcarding problem today in V4.0 and V4.0B. It is
different than the NFS problem I had seen (and reported) previously. Note that
the wildcarding works as I expect in both Bourne and Korn shells.

I was looking for examples of "old-style" token-pasting (/**/) and the grep
command works as I expect in the other shells, but not in the C-shell.

% cd /usr/include/X11
/usr/include/X11
% grep '/\*\*/' *.h
ComposeInt.h:#include <X11/Compose.h>

% ksh
$ grep -l '/\*\*/' *.h
Shell.h
StringDefs.h
XUICompat.h
Xlibint.h
Xmd.h

I tested this on Steel BL10 and it appears to be fixed there, so I won't bother
to report a QAR.
