Just another followup (currently on 1.3.15-2)
I found the hexadecimal example didn't work from scratch any more, so I
tried this:
$ for k in a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z; do for j in
a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z; do echo $j.$k; touch
$j.$k; done; done
$ echo [a-o].[a-o] | wc
1 225 900
$ ls [a-o].[a-o] > /dev/null
<returns promptly>
$ echo [a-p].[a-o] | wc
1 240 960
$ ls [a-o].[a-p] > /dev/null
<starts to thrash, chewing up increasing amts of ram>
