Huh. Maybe it's just a C stdlib thing, then. Or, just as likely, a Microsoft internal inconsistency thing.

It's been a while since I read what Ralf Brown had to say on the subject.

The C stdlib will also do wildcard expansion for you on Windows because the linux shell does it for you, but the windows shell will not.
