Bash backquote bug?

- Subject: Bash backquote bug?
While running a configure script under bash-2.05b, I observed a bug (?)
similar to the following:
$ ls configure*
configure configure.in
$ echo timestamp >conftest.file
$ ls -Lt ./configure conftest.file
conftest.file ./configure
$ set X `ls -Lt ./configure conftest.file`
$ echo $*
X conftest.file ./configure ./configure.in
So, it appears that `ls' produces different output when evaluated at the
command prompt and when run under backquote. Any ideas?
