Problem with test -d

[stefan . marquardt]

Hello,

i struggle with the test -d command.
I can't really say what is wrong.

In the moment the gnu test command has another result code as on HP-UX or
SCO OpenServer.

Here the example:

Another OS:

ENTW-HP: /home/user/work # test -d man???
ENTW-HP: /home/user/work # echo $?
0
ENTW-HP: /home/user/work # echo $USERDIR/work/man???
/home/user/work/man000 /home/user/work/man001 /home/user/work/man002 /home/user/
work/man003 /home/user/work/man004 /home/user/work/man010 /home/user/work/man011
 /home/user/work/man016 /home/user/work/man026 /home/user/work/man033 /home/user
/work/man035 /home/user/work/man038 /home/user/work/man039 /home/user/work/man05
5 /home/user/work/man064 /home/user/work/man069 /home/user/work/man555 /home/use
r/work/man992 /home/user/work/man999


On Linux:

address@hidden /home]# echo $USERDIR/work/man???
/home/work/man100 /home/work/man101 /home/work/man102
address@hidden /home]# test -d $USERDIR/work/man???
test: too many arguments


address@hidden bin]# ./test --version
test (GNU sh-utils) 2.0

./test: zuviele Argumente
address@hidden bin]# test -d $USERDIR/work/man???
test: too many arguments


Any chance to get returncode 0 ?
