Gunter, thanks! with that option set, the misbehavior with dir with 
wildcards does *not* happen.  So, is this still a bug or is this 
intended behavior?  I certainly didn't anticipate it, so from my 
perspective it is unexpected behavior.

At the very least, I would expect mangled names = no to be the default 
behavior, as it provides the most consist behavior.  Windows long file 
names have been around for a very long time, so I don't see why 8.3 
support should be the default.  Then if people want mangled names = yes, 
they can be informed of unanticipated side effects.  So, make the 
expected behavior the default and make the user explicitly ask for 
unexpected behavior.
