Title: Bug about special characters \[,\]





Hi there.
I just found that special characters '[' and ']' are wrongly handled by kernel. Following is the case:


I have a file named "file[21].txt"
I have a shell script:


files=`ls *.txt`
for f in $files; do echo $f; done


the output is:
file1.txt
file2.txt


I tested on unix(solaris 8) and it works fine(output "file[21].txt"), and I believe this is a kernel bug.
