| Anyone seeing this?
| 
|       dir *.m
|       go_crop.m    go_simple.m  go_test.m
|       ls *.m
|       ls: *.m: No such file or directory
|       error: ls: command exited abnormally with status 1

This is my fault, for introducing some quoting to try to allow things
like

 ls foo(1)bar

to work.  I'm not sure what the best fix is, but it can't be as simple
as what I did.
