I read that. Sorry, but I don't see what that has to do with the
question I posed. I don't specify anything in that group of settings,
so they are all defaulting. How does that explain that a file beginning
with "au" is included in "dir ac*"?

Thanks, Tom, I'll open a bug report.

Gunter, thanks! with that option set, the misbehavior with dir with
wildcards does *not* happen. So, is this still a bug or is this
intended behavior? I certainly didn't anticipate it, so from my
perspective it is unexpected behavior.

At the very least, I would expect mangled names = no to be the default
behavior, as it provides the most consist behavior. Windows long file
names have been around for a very long time, so I don't see why 8.3
support should be the default. Then if people want mangled names = yes,
they can be informed of unanticipated side effects. So, make the
expected behavior the default and make the user explicitly ask for
unexpected behavior.

For what it's worth, this behavior is not limited to Samba servers. I have the
exact same problem using standard Microsoft servers. Dir EC05*.* might return a
file named EC11*.* which is also visible if you Dir EC11*.*.

The main difference is that my problem doesn't seem to be reproducible like
yours. During the course of a month we generate several thousand of these files
which are processed then archived and deleted. The names are all unique,
containing date/time stamps. In the course of a month maybe 10 of these files
will be affected as you describe. We have modified our code to monitor for this
situation and give warnings.
