I was fiddling around with something the other night, and did this:

mkdir bob
cp blah bob
cat *>out

At which point the machine just stood there..  ^C, and the file out was about
2 megs!

cat bob>out gives a 512 byte file.. so why when I do the *, does it make such a
mess??

Is this a bug?  should I send-pr it?  Or is this "expected wierd behavior" and
"dont do that"?
