Bug in rm ??

[wendel]

Hi,   I found a stupid problem in "rm" that i think that already must be knowed, but i'm reporting. :)   I tryed:   netfinity:/w/bkporacle>rm -rf * bash: /bin/rm: Argument list too long I understood that it have much arguments... i have 17740 files in directory. I know that i can remove it using find with -exec option but why it happens with rm ??   A problem with numer of arguments suported by va_list in rm ??   Or a limit in the bash ??   Why not fix this problem ??   Thkz a lot.   Best Regards.   [ ]'s
