Re: 1.3.13 bug with arguments for "ls *" etc. where * is >900 chars

Just another followup (currently on 1.3.15-2)

I found the hexadecimal example didn't work from scratch any more, so I
tried this:

$ for k in a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z; do for j  in
a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z; do echo $j.$k; touch
$j.$k; done; done

$ echo [a-o].[a-o] | wc
      1     225     900
$ ls [a-o].[a-o] > /dev/null

<returns promptly>

$ echo [a-p].[a-o] | wc
      1     240     960
$ ls [a-o].[a-p] > /dev/null

<starts to thrash, chewing up increasing amts of ram>
