Bash Version: 4.1 Patch Level: 2 Release Status: release Description: I deleted the file .DS_Store fom a fat32 partition as root. bash properly warned me and I answered y which deleted that file. A second different file, named ._.DS_Store was also erased - but without warning, and I did not ask for this. Therein lies the bug. I recreated two text files with different contents having those same names, and repeated the steps - same problem - both files got erased with the one rm command for just one of them. Repeat-By: Create those 2 files. Delete just one. Fix: probably some shell filename matching code has an error?
