Minor diff: /bin/ksh.exe

[Paul McFerrin]

Just want to point out a slightly difference in behavior of ksh
    @(#)PD KSH v5.2.14 99/07/13.2
between Cygwin 1.5 & 1.7  First, the above is a older version of pdksh 
that I had to tweek the cygwin sources a l-o-n-g time ago.  Under 1.5, 
the following does work properly:
    $ cd /c/Doc*/Paul/App*/Moz*/Fire*/Pro*/*default/
I like using shell expansions a lot to save me a lot of typing and to 
avoid MS spaces in directory names.  Under 1.7, I have replace the above 
with the following:
    $ cd /c/Doc*
    $ cd Paul
    $ cd App*
    $ cd Moz*
    $ cd Fire*
    $ cd Pro*
    $ cd *.def*

Or I have completely type all of the expansions CORRECTLY.

It appears that you can't have multiple expansions within a single 
line.  It is the EXACT executable ksh.exe.  As you can see, you are 
forcing me *A LOT* of extra typing.  Makes me wonder what else might be 
broken.  Do we have an re-entrancy problem somewhere?.
