>The following works with bash 1.14.0(5) under SCO but 
>not with bash-1.14.7(5) under gnuwin32 (i.e., the bash 
>that came with b18).  
>
>  for fname in `ls`
>  do cp $fname /tmp; done
>
>I get an error such as the following for each filename 
>`ls` spits out:
>
>  cp: Acr99.tmp: No such file or directory
>
>Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong or if this is a 
>known problem with gnuwin32 bash?
