Problems with bash, cvs and variable expansion

[Andy Philpotts]

Under NT4.0, BASH_VERSION='2.04.0(1)-release'

I am having an odd problem when using cvs within bash (don't worry,
you don't have to know cvs to understand the issue). I have a filelist
which I want to expand on the command line. If I manually type the command
line (even with cut and paste, so there are no typos) everything works OK,
but if I use some form of paramater expansion there is a problem.

The filelist is quite long...

An example which works:

$ cvs update com/irenaissance/cc/server/irRequestHandlerCCJava.java com/irenaissance/cc/server/irSession.java com/irenaissance/cc/server/irODBServer.java com/irenaissance/cc/server/irRequest.java com/irenaissance/cc/server/irHtmlRenderer.java

and another example which doesn't:

$ FLIST=com/irenaissance/cc/server/irRequestHandlerCCJava.java com/irenaissance/cc/server/irSession.java com/irenaissance/cc/server/irODBServer.java com/irenaissance/cc/server/irRequest.java com/irenaissance/cc/server/irHtmlRenderer.java
$ cvs update $FLIST
: No such file or directoryt find

note the oddly spelt error message
