Bug#495553: bash's failglob option makes freecol print its usage message

Package: freecol
Version: 0.7.4.dfsg+1-1
Severity: important

For my primary user:
When started from the command line with no options, freecol just prints the
usage message to stderr and exits.  Adding any option makes it work (tried
with --windowed, --splash, --no-sound).
This also happens when started from the window-manager's menu.

For a second user id on the same machine, it runs fine.


The difference is that the primary user's .bashrc includes
  set failglob
if /usr/games/freecol is called with no arguments, this makes
the final line's "$@" expand to "failglob".
