Ooups, I overlooked the bash-expansion feature!
See:
p...@latitude:~/test$ find -name *test*
./123 test 123
-> bash expands *test* to '123 test 123'
When quoted:
p...@latitude:~/test$ find -name '*test*'
./123 test 123
./123 test 123/23 test 332
./123 test 123/23 atest 122
./123 test
Hi there, thanks for taking the time to report this. What you're seeing,
however, isn't a bug but a result of how the shell is handling *test*.
When you type "find -iname *atest*", bash tries to expand *atest* by
looking in the current directory. When it doesn't find anything, it
leaves *atest* un
