The following problem occurs under a SunOS 4.0.3c, on a SPARCstation 1.

Script started on Tue Dec 26 11:29:04 1989
tasu74 % cat try
#!/users/c764/crehta/perl

while (<*.c>) {
	print $_,"\n";
}

tasu74 % ls -F
a.c		b.c		c.c		try*		typescript
tasu74 % try
*.c: Ambiguous.
tasu74 % ^D
script done on Tue Dec 26 11:29:39 1989

The same "try" perl script listed a.c, b.c and c.c correctly on 
a Sun3 under OS 3.5 .
