And mv is wrong too:
$ mv /home/jreed/pkg/bin/#inst.1316# /home/jreed/pkg/bin/bmake
mv: cannot move `/home/jreed/pkg/bin/#inst.1316#' to
`/home/jreed/pkg/bin/bmake': No such file or directory
$ ls -l /home/jreed/pkg/bin/#inst.1316#
-r-xr-xr-x 1 jreed Users 158621 Dec 22 15:18 /home/jreed/pkg/bin/#inst.1316#
It does work if I mv with the filename with the .exe extension.
