[ale] weird "find" behavior

I'm seeing some find weirdness.  On both Ubuntu Etch and RH4ES, if I do
the following I can locate files:

	find /usr/include/ -type f -name *.c

But if I do this, I find nothing:

	find /usr/include/ -type f -name *.h

However if I do this, I find files:

	find /usr/include/ -type f -name "*.h"

WTF?
