Hi,
When I type a command such as this:
$ cp * /some/folder
And there is a file called "-CAT_NO3.022" in the current directory, I get
this response:
cp: invalid option -- C
Try `cp --help' for more information.
It looks as if the "-C" at the start of the filename is being treated as a
parameter to cp. I'm using fileutils 4.1 (Linux x86 2.4.18, ext3.) Please
let me know if I've found a real live bug!
Cheers,
Adam.
