  This is the behavior of your shell, and different shells have different
  behaviors here.  What's your shell?

it happens on debian 3.1 (bash 2.05b-26) and on ubuntu 6.06.
it also happens with cygwin on windows xp with bash 3.1.17
yes, it may be the behavior of the shell, but i found it strange.
so, it is not a bug?, it is a feature? well. i do not understand why it does that, but... it's ok then.

bye
