sorry, my example could't have been worse: i just wanted to
illustrate that the asterix was being expanded (by the shell?)
even though it's escaped.
the problem is: when invoking
java someclass \*
the \* is being expanded to the list of files in the current
directory (the class is invoked with a list of filenames rather
than with a "*".) AFAIK that shouldn't be.
