I wanted to express that the globbing does not work... ;-)
It's not only bash, it's also tcsh, it's also ash, it's Thing 
(at least 1.09), it's Pine, ... They all need to be fixed.  
That's why I suspected that either the MiNTLib or MiNT or minixfs 
are broken.  Obviously the directory functions need to be fixed :-)
