[ale] bash bug?

[Ben Phillips]

I accidentally created a file called (minus the quotes):  '-X'

Now, here are my efforts to get rid of it.  As you can see, the last thing I
tried actually worked, but it makes me curious:  Does this look like a bug
in bash to anyone else?


root at localhost# rm -X
rm: invalid option -- X
Try `rm --help' for more information.
root at localhost# rm "-X" 
rm: invalid option -- X
Try `rm --help' for more information.
root at localhost# rm \-X  
rm: invalid option -- X
Try `rm --help' for more information.
root at localhost# rm *X
rm: invalid option -- X
Try `rm --help' for more information.
root at localhost# rm ./-X 
root at localhost#
