>Description:
	file(1) core dumps when called with /etc/* but
	not when called on them individually, ie

		file /etc/*		{ core dumps }

		foreach f(/etc/*)	{ works ok }
			file $f
		end

>How-To-Repeat:
	Uudecode the following shell script and execute it.  Altering
	"irrelevant" details in it can cause it to not core dump.
	For example, it seems important that you use /tmp not
	/tmp/zz.  Run it on a machine where you can delete all
	other files in /tmp and don't run it under X11 (perhaps
	pseudo ttys screw it up).

	I won't be surprised if you can't repeat it.  It's taken
	me a few hours to get it to be this solid :-(
