I have a directory that has some files with odd files.
I can do a 'ls', successfully. However if I do a 'ls *'' I get:
ls: cannot access '*': No such file or directory
Here is ls output:
'Highlander-S03E21-Final'$'\303\251''_Part_I-22.mkv'
'Highlander-S03E22-Final'$'\303\251''_Part_II-23.mkv'
I can confirm this. I've seen weirdo behavior before with Cygwin
commands having to interpret wild cards internally. It's probably
related to some wonky unicode optimization or incomplete wildcard
implementation. This falls under the category of "don't do that". :)
