** Description changed:

  I'm running Ubuntu Edgy
  When I'm trying to remove many files from a folder with the command
     rm test_displacement/*.png
  it says 
     bash: /bin/rm: Argument list too long
  
  Nevertheless, the command
     rm test_displacement/1641.png
  works fine
  
+ also, the following works:
+ cd test_displacement; rm *.png
+ 
  In the folder test_displacement there are 5002 files and 5001 of them are of 
the form *.png
  The file system is ext2
